I know you've said this before but I still find it astonishing. I've
used Fedora since FC1 and have never failed to install it or update it
on real hardware (and not always the same real hardware). Once or twice
I've had issues with the layout (in fact I had some with F20 when it
decided I wanted a BTRFS subvolume spread over two disks) but they've
been the exception. I do agree that the installer needs to be clearer
than it is, though I find F20 better than F19.

I'm not questioning your experience, I just find it remarkably different
from my own.
