The end result is that:

- If you're a developer, don't worry. The buildbot should take care of it.
- If you're a python developer, worry (sorry, I didn't read the latest developments of the python issue yet).
- If you're an advanced user, you're free to repartition the device as you see fit.

I read some pieces of discussion on the developer ml, and I'm still not satisfied of what I've read.

I think that when You have a fresh start, like when a major release of an OS is coming, the "just works" is not enough.

IMHO this is just the usual cancer of unix that comes back again, where everyone consider itself authorized to move directories and configuration files forth and back on the file-system, breaking the compatibility to the past, and maybe to the future.
