I'm +1 for at blocking at beta for *at least* the corruption of existing user
data.
I'm at least +/-0, probably a weak +1. Be nice to hear some comments
from dev side (e.g. anaconda devs) on this, though. Partition resizing
in particular is known and explicitly warned to be a dangerous operation
in the installer, I believe.
