Hello,
only an offhanded side note:

Instead, the main entry point will be a list of the devices (or free
spaces) that are currently usable. Let's see it with an example.
...
sda1 (NTFS)
sda2 (NTFS)
sdb1 (ext3)
vg0/root (btrfs)
vg0/home (ext4)
Free space at vg0
sdc (empty)
Those are the devices (or spaces) that can be used for something
immediately.
sda is not displayed because is fully used, so there is not much you
can
do with it unless you delete/resize its partitions first.
I like the simplification to only show the "final" storage objects
but not their underlying "container" or "base" storage objects.
On the other hand it is possible to use underlying storage objects
directly, in particular a whole disk.
For example assume you have a complicated structure of various levels
of storage objects on a disk and you "just want to use that whole disk
from scratch for something completely new".
It seems with the new proposal one would have to manually deconstruct
the whole complicated structure level by level and step by step
until all storage objects are removed before one can use the disk.
On the third hand ("tertium datur" ;-) it should not be possible
to "just use a whole disk for something new" when the disk is
e.g. member of a RAID or used in LVM together with other disks
so it makes sense to force the user to manually deconstruct
a storage structure level by level to ensure he cannot
accidentally mess up something.
Kind Regards
