Then you are an expert user and you should know what you are doing when using a
smaller partition and you have an exit strategy when things go South.

But the Installer (and many other things too) is designed for an average user
with rather smaller knowledge with no exit strategy. So we are usually on the
safer side of solutions. We can't expect that a common Leap/TW user should be
able to recreate the partitioning when a problem arises. Such user would not be
able to find out that such solution would help anyway.
