At this stage, yes. It might change in future, but I think it was felt
to be both too much code to change and too much change for users to take
on board if it was all changed at once.
For an LV to take advantage of thinp snapshots needs to be a virtual size LV drawn from
the thin pool, correct? So it is a virtual size LV in any case, it's just that the
installer isn't going to let users specify total LV virtual sizes greater than the
pool, right?
