Root on lvm should be supported?
It is.

Should be, but I'm not going to find out on a production server ;-).
I am using it in production and i am very satisfied.
and i have been using it for ages on multiple server without even a
glitch.
BTW, our 9.1 box gives some problems on it's LVM (lvm devices don't
start up sometimes), so I would be more hesitant to have root (and all
the necessary tools to get the LVM up) on LVM ...
You sohuld debug your problem or ask for help instead of spreading FUD.

I remember I've even tested that
during 9.2 debugging process. Ah but this is limited to a LV not
spanning across several PV's, that is? I can't be sure. Then LVM
might be a little less interesting :).
AFAIK you cannot boot from an lv that spans several PV, you need /boot to be
on it's own LV for this, but root can span if you need.
Well, IMHO, if you need to resize /, you made some mistake in setting up
the server ...
Usually i don't want to resize /, but this is no reason to use a
partition table.
Besides if someone want's to resize / why should we oppose it. (i was
thinking of adding an mkinitrd mode that resizes /)
