Installation changing the Partition Label

When installing Fedora 9 onto an existing partition that already has a label, 
the installer will change the label to "/". If there is an existing partition 
with this label the system will fail to boot. If there is an existing 
installation on the computer that uses the labels in its fstab, it will fail 
to boot as well. Could the custom partition editor either keep the existing 
label or allow the user to set the partition label with the existing label as 
a default?
