Default FS Layout Too Small?

[Paige Thompson]

I use the auto defaults and frankly thats one of the. things in fbsd that I
have become quite fond of over these years. If that goes away Im going to
cry. If anything itd be nice if it would suggest a few different layouts and
possibly partions for more than just what it suggests. I prefer many
partitions myself but over the last year or so Ive used lvm2 and ext3 which
I can resize. Cant you resize those partitions later?

How could changing the defaults bite new users who are by definition
not used to any defaults yet?
