The interface of the YaST Partitioner has reached a point in which is
really hard to deal with it. We need to find a way to move forward.
As a first step, we have created this document that explains the problem
and we hope it can be used as a base to discuss the future of the
Partitioner interface.

What I've never understood is why format/don't format and mount/don't mount
are selections and not simply checkboxes. Surely it's a binary decision.
So it could look like this:
┌Formatting Options──────────────┐
│ │
│ [x] Format device │
│ [x] Encrypt device │
│ │
│ Filesystem │
│ XFS▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒↓ │
│ [Options... ] │
│ │
│ [x] Keep existing password │
│ │
│ New encryption password │
│ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │
│ Repeat encryption password │
│ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────┘
┌Mounting Options─────────┐
│ │
│ [x] Mount device │
│ │
│ Mount point │
│ [Fstab options...] │
│ [Crypttab options...] │
│ │
│ [Subvolume handling] │
│ │
└─────────────────────────┘
And the partition id is definitely misplaced in an fs formatting dialog. It
would fit more into that otherwise rather empty partition 'role' dialog.
