That's a good point. The step for partitioning is still the most complex
one during the installation. There are really often questions and
discussions how to partition the hard disk.
But, as a user who doesn't know anything about LVM, we should only
switch if the algorithm for LVM works really really stable and is easy
to use.
It seems to me positive to switch to LVM for default but it's not really
important, so we don't should risk to much and take the time it needs,
instead of forcing it to be finished for the next release, for example.
Just my concerns to this topic.
Regards,
Thorsten
