Guessing how much space you'll need in your non /home partitions over
time is difficult. Only you know how your install will be used. That's
why the installer defaults to the easiest thing to guess; How much boot
space you'll need, and how much swap space. However since you know how
your install is going to be used, you are best to make those estimations
and setup your /home as you want it.

Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
Fedora Live CD target audience are desktop users, right? I as a
desktop user haven't seen any need for / partiton over 8-10 GB.
Servers, and other fedora usages may need some other partition schemes
but a default home user has huge benefits from a dedicated /home
partition.
It is probable that new users aren't aware that /home partition as a
dedicated partition has advantages and it would be best if anaconda
makes the "smart" partition scheme in which /home is a separate
partition in LVM volume, or a logical partition. Separate home has
lots of advantages that you are aware of, so why not just change the
partition scheme to take advantage of that?
Cheers,
Valent.
