I wondered what the rumbling was.

According to a very good talk by one of the Red Hat guys last night at a 
LUG meeting, thats exactly what they did: common core, with seperate
interfaces. I was diddling around trying to find where to patch it to
give an option to use 4k blocks, and it still ain't trivial.

(Needless diddling - it ajusts the block size automatically depending on
the size of the filesystem to be made.)

Really, if you don't like the installer, they take good patches.
