It calls for a shared /boot on UEFI also, but it's the EFI System
partition, so of course this needs to always be preserved unless the
entire drive is selected for erasing. Oh, oops:

wrongly permits deletion of shared EFI System partition

Seeing as anaconda puts a bullseye on the EFI system partition, why
not just nuke /boot from orbit? Don't ask. Don't warn. Just do it.
