Is this new "feature" something we are going to have to live with??
I believe that we cannot live with this ... or at least anaconda cannot:

I am still a bit puzzled with the /dev/dm-N situation. I have read the comments in Bug #507461 and Bug #497259 and am a bit unclear why /dev/dm-N shows up. As I understand it, Fedora maintainers/developers are doing something to suppress it. Is this something from upsteam? Why?
IMHO, having something show as /dev/dm-1 is not as meaningful as /dev/mapper/VGx-root (such as in the output of "df"). If this is the result of upstream stuff, how do other distributions such as debian handle it?
