Hold on thar, pardner. I don't "hate" LVM, but don't care for it. And in
most cases, or at least my own, and the person who is vehemently against
it, it's based on personal experience. How is that "not a rational thing"?

For that matter, haven't you ever gotten gunshy when something that's
billed as the LATESTGREATESTTHINGSINCESLICEDBREAD is buggy, and not ready
for prime time? Certainly 10-12 years ago, that's how I felt about python,
where literally every sub-release broke what was running. Is it irrational
to be unappreciative of it? (We'll ignore my unhappiness at the whole
concept of whitespace as a syntax element.)

Or then there's systemd....
