First, I'd like to point out that just because the installer isn't supposed
to modify your partitions without your explicitly selecting them doesn't
mean that it never happens.
OK I have probably well in excess of 500 man hours testing Anaconda
over the past couple of years, and I've never seen it. And I'm a bug
magnet. I make things break just by looking at them.
So if there's no bug citation I'm considering this in the realm of
conjecture. It's a unicorn.
It's always possible for a bug to rear its ugly
head and mark /home for reformatting even though you've specified that it's
to be used as is, or for a bit to flip, changing the value of a flag.
Umm? OK well the moon could possibly fracture tomorrow and we all die.
What you're talking about has no potential for mitigation. It's not a
reproducible bug, it's just bad luck.
