Comment 54 for bug 48734

> Wow! Approaching 13-years and counting on this bug. Neat.

What's your point in making this statement? A decision was made soon after the bug has filed and that decision still stands today. What does the age of the decision have to do with it?

> Why not just throw a simple toggle into the installer, to surface this issue, offering admins the option?

There are negative UX consequences of every "why not just ask the user" in the installer. It's not reasonable to demand that the user receive an education on using the system before being allowed to install it, which is what used to feel like to install Debian around the time Ubuntu launched (I don't know what the Debian installer experience is now). Part of the point of Ubuntu was to do the sensible thing and not ask a million questions. I am not looking to make a statement either way on this particular decision. My point is merely that there *is* a UX downside to "throw a simple toggle into the installer" and you are in competition with a bunch of other Ubuntu users who want _their_ question asked by the installer because they don't like some other default.
