SNIP (for clearness)
for learning purposes, so you see, I have a
lot of things to do. Thank you for the heads up. Regards.
Have you ensured that the partitioner does not partition and format the existing /home partition? It has happened to me with a previous version of 15.1 alpha, in the PC of a friend, who later wanted to kill me for the loss of all the information
Cheers,

Oh, yes, that was the issue with 15.0 (before it was fixed). It is fixed now BTW (but only when you activate the internet and repos prior installation.> I will test this by doing a clone and try an update on 15.0 to 15.1. An advice (especially with friends - I KNOW the issue of data loss really). Can you please point to the exact bug report and/for fix you are referring to?
I have followed quite closely the partitioner-related development of 15.0 and 15.1. There has been indeed quite some bugs in that area and many of them has been fixed with online maintenance updates, as you pointed.
But I'm not aware about none of those bugs being: "YaST deletes a partition it has not been told to delete or that was not explicitly mentioned in the proposal to be deleted".
Thanks. The bug was as follows: if, during installation of a 15.1, you choose not to update (as many users do because of issues or because they want a fresh system) they do the following: use the existing partitions and and then read in the users with the help of "expert partition manager". In this routine the "expert partition manager" would be so kind that it selected the /home (especially if you have e.g. on an LVM but not only) and did put it to format. You could (if distrustful enough and very attentive) see it and deny the

Ok! Now I got it! This bug is about using the "Import Mountpoints" button in the Expert Partitioner. But none you or Juan Erbes has mentioned such button in this thread or in the other one[*]. So I was completely lost. Now we have an starting point to discuss what was missing/broken in that particular button and what have been improved/fixed after 15.0. [*] I mean the already linked thread in which is stated that the installation didn't offer any partitioning-related screen and just deleted /home without even mentioning it. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-11/msg00172.html
The bug (so far I have seen in 15) is now fixed (as it seems by an update done to the installer/yast, right after activating the repos). Bug number: I do not find it, maybe user Carlso E.R. (robin.listas) has reported it, I am not sure.
The bug was indeed reported (but not by any of the people taking part in the ML threads) and fixed AFTER the release of 15.0. See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094924
the bug is still visible when you follow (without activating the network) the original install iso of opensuse 15.
Yes, the "import mountpoints" in Leap 15.0 didn't have the checkbox titled "Format System Volumes". Instead, all imported mountpoints were marked for format. The checkbox was added after the 15.0 release, so you will only get it (together with the more conservative default behavior) if using 15.1, TW or 15.0+update_repos.
You give the password of the encrypted volume. You are proposed to install with btrfs. When you refuse the proposal, then you go to expert partitioner, then "read in existing installation". The program will read in all existing partitions, but now sets /home to be formatted, toghether with root and swap. I recall maybe it does not want to format /boot. But I am not sure. Repeatable always (with install from 42.3 as said to 15.0) doing a expert partitioning without network. Hope that helps.
