This is a silly straw-man. No one[1] formats external HDs with

Agreed kinda bad example on my behalf since I based it on real live
scenario in which I had been approached by a not so experienced Linux
user which actually had formatting and partition his external drive as
LVM ( and was having trouble with it ) and when I asked why he choose to
format and partition with LVM he said and I quote " I just took look at
how it was setup on my desktop so I decided to create the same since I
expected it would just work if I plugged it to another Linux box I had
setup at home".
I'll have it in mind next time I mention a simple test case that it
should be targeted against mixed OS environments instead of having it
solely focusing on easy of use and interoperability between Linux
implementations.
