I'd like to see if we can at least reach a consensus with the Desktop WG
on the filesystem question before I vote +1 on this. Josh has said he's
going to take another look at the situation.
To be clear, the Workstation WG is looking at delivering a live image
by default. The live image itself is ext4 on top of a raw DM device.
I am not sure if that can be changed to use XFS instead of ext4, but I
don't think LVM makes sense on the live image itself. I will be
mostly asking about the "install to hard disk" default path when I
bring it up.
