I guess this would be a change to anaconda (since it writes /etc/fstab)?
Anybody else have any thoughts on this, should I just go file an RFE bug
against anaconda, ??

That requires that a filesystem is created in the empty space.  But I
can also see your point in that discarding immediately may be an issue.

I use a script to create a temporary LV on a PV with free PEs and that
supports discard and then remove it with issue_discards=1... would
something like that be sensible to run along side fstrim.timer?
