I suspect, the above scenarios are more likely in custom partitioning
use cases (which seems common enough).
A few follow-up questions as it relates to F11 ...
* If we don't fix this, are there workarounds we can document in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs
* If we do fix this, what other partitioning areas would be
impacted? Would this warrant a reset of all F11 partitioning
testing?
* Should this bug be on the F11AnacondaBlocker list?
Thanks,
