I want as much as possible on LVM, and no initramfs. A small / and
everything else on LVM fulfils that need.

No one is saying YOU should change your preferred setup. Please do us the
same courtesy. Accept that we may have thought quite hard about what we

through extra configuration steps and introduce more points of failure,
just to do what you are already doing?
