Most people don't want to reformat their home directories ;-P (isn't
that the point of an upgrade?). Having anaconda 'make relabel' on
unformatted, mounted partitions is probably reasonable for this specific
case, but not all. Another potential problem is read-only media
formatted with an xattr-capable filesystem. Jaz drives and Zip disks
may very well be ext3 formatted but physically marked "read-only". Or
removable media I want to use with an FC2 box at home and an FC1 box at
work . . . the possibilities are nearly endless.
I don't believe it would be a good idea to do this during the install.
However, during firstboot is another matter entirely. Furthermore, maybe it
should not be a make relabel but prompt for each filesystem and
/usr/sbin/setfiles against the filesystem.
