(1185117) UEFI dual-boot + Windows, cannot practically remove and
install Fedora over an existing default opensuse installation
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185117

Feel free to change the title to something else, the idea was to
emphasize the problem happens with a major distro default
installation. Yes this is reproducible with Fedora too, just not by
default. That's what bug 1015657 is about, and why I never nominated
it as a blocker, and is now a dupe. In Fedora, the user has to
manually pick Btrfs, and manually create snapshots. openSUSE now does
both by default.

The lack of a coherent snapshot UI/UX in the installer is
understandable; but now it's resulting in a more common UX problem
that it's effectively a bug.

For those who'd like to see what lvm thinp snapshots look like in the
installer without going to the trouble:
