In the past, Fedora has been accused of releasing with several major
bugs, and software in alpha state, so I support this too. Especially if
it's the installer having the problem. This one involves partitioning,
as did a severe bug they released a few releases ago, so good call on
their part.
Repartition failure can ruin your day. Me, I'm fighting networking on
my new Ubuntu install on my server, but I'll prolly post on that in a
separate email (now that email is working).
