Fedora uses LVMs by default, so anyone who installs Fedora on a laptop and doesn't customize the partition scheme will have them.
We should stop doing that, LVM is mostly useless on desktop and pretty much always useless on laptops.
I so agree, also the possibility of customizing the partitioning scheme in text-mode (eg with systems with <= 512 MB RAM) sounds to me like a great idea. I run systems at work with Fedora 13 on 256 MB RAM with LXDE and it works great. But I don't need LVM on those systems. My 0.02.
