Comment # 10 on bug 1087918 from
IMHO we shouldn't pursue this any farther; this is already on the brink of
overengineering. The idea behind the storage proposal was to come up with a
quick solution that fits for a small number of standard cases:

(1) Nothing on the disk; just create a completely new setup.

(2) Disk completely occupied by an existing Windows installation:
    (a) Try to keep Windows alive and create a multi-boot setup. 
        Resize Windows to make room for Linux.
    (b) Completely delete Windows and create a completely new setup for Linux.

(3) Disk completely occupied by a previous Linux installation 
    (no matter if it's an old SUSE distro or anything else):
    Delete and recreate root and swap, 
    try to keep /home and any other data partitions.

Right now, we do (1), (2a) and (3); (2b) would be the exceptional case when we
can't resize the Windows partition.

Now in the setup that this bug is all about, things get too complicated to fit
into any of the above scenarios, so please use the guided setup or the expert
partitioner.

For me this bug is a WORKSFORME.
