This is a great example of the kind of change that _having_ a separate
Fedora Server makes possible. It's nothing dramatic, but it's easy to
make a change for this use case without needing to worry about also
accomodating desktop needs, and Workstation (and spins) can have
sensible desktop defaults without needing to worry about what server
storage looks like. \o/
Yes, although as I think about it, we also need to be aware of the secondary
effects of changing this:
Anyone who is using the Fedora Server netinstall is going to have this as their
default layout; regardless of what environment they select. This suggests that
Workstation may well want to offer a separate netinstall ISO in addition to
their Live media.
