The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG
meeting[1]
Fedora Server will have:
* / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB
* SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on
the system
* All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be
assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions.
* Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings
We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var
partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served
by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount
points, which would be more flexible going forward.
As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal,
I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes.
For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be
given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned
to a separate /home partition.

If you've been following along, you probably know what Modularity is all
about, but maybe you haven't actually tried it. The Boltron demo makes
this easy -- it's provided as a Docker image. Please take a look and
particularly go through the walkthrough form at the bottom to provide
feedback on some of the open questions:

At tomorrow's meeting, I've asked Langdon White to join us so we can do a
Boltron post-mortem as well as discussing plans for where we go in Fedora
27 and 28.
Are there other Server topics we should put on the agenda?
