Makes perfect sense to me as well.

Having installed LVM - and then removed it due to issues; namely, the fact that 
one of the hard drives died taking out the whole LVM group, leaving the OS 
unbootable, and not easily fixable. There was a thread on that (started by me) 
a 
while back (over a year).

So, perhaps if I had a RAID to underly so I could mirror drives under LVM for 
recovery I'd move to it again. But otherwise it is just a PITA waiting to 
happen.
