Just add it to the drop-down scroll filesystem box. Maybe separate them off
from the supported ones (not that that has any meaning for Fedora, but some
filesystems will still be more equal than others, I suppose ;-) with white
space and put experimental after them

Or whatever....
If you think Disk Druid's cluttered, install SuSE sometimes. Bazillions of
options available in disk partitioning, except they still managed not to
have the ones I actually needed ;-)
