I vote against that. (=to be enabled by default)
LVM is fine for "enterprise" setups, or better, installations where the
(expert) admin will need to resize/move partitions in the future. But, for
simple machines/users, the complexity of having LVM is IMHO not worth it.
(remember also that on all *nix OSes, you can just add a partition, move some
files like /usr/share/doc into it and then mount it on /usr/share/doc, thus
freeing /usr of some space. No LVM, no virtualization, no ZFS required)
