Hi Walter,

It is *not* true that LVM only works if you already have LVM set up. It
works also from a blank drive (with only a partition table created by
for example gparted, no partitions at all). And it works with Lubuntu
Vivid 32-bit installed from the desktop as well as from the alternate
installer. Did you read my test reports?

I can only talk for myself: I can continue to test that Lubuntu works
with LVM, encrypted disk and encrypted home.

But we would have to rely on someone else to squash bugs encountered
during the testing. In this particular case we can have a 'plan B', to
add some extra steps that were not necessary in earlier versions of
Lubuntu. If you give me access to the text of the previous testcase, I
can add and modify it to make it useful in the future (either for the
desktop or the alternate installer). And you can revive it.

You are the QA leader and you can remove or add whatever test cases you
like. I hope your decisions are the best for Lubuntu.

Best regards
Nio
