A question I have, forgive me if it seems stupid, is why not just change the standard?
"standard" was probably not a good term for me to use instead of
"preset".
All I mean is, you can't do an ext4->Btrfs conversion and get the Btrfs preset the
installer offers. You get something really different that not many people will likely
have. So if you're the audience who wants a recommended layout by using installer
default or guided path offerings, then you probably don't want to end up with
something radically different.
