No.

I really don't understand the question or why you are asking it.

I test diverse kinds of software. Operating systems are just one software 
class among them. OS installation is among the most time consuming and lowest 
priority tests I perform. I often clone and upgrade the clone in order to 
avoid the OS installation process. Due to my experience with the pre-release 
F18 installer, all my F19 installations have been made via partition clone 
and Yum upgrade.

I repeat: Fedora here is both testing tool and test subject. Interference 
between the two functions needs to be limited. Wiping is antithetical to my 
limitation methodology and primary goals.
