Depends on how you look at it.

I mean if users are incapable of actually using the already provided 
custom partition layout and choose there to use lvm but they are 
experienced user and would be taking advantage of all the bells and 
whistle lvm provides there would be an option for them to choose it 
right in front of them and we still could default to ext4 only install...
