any word on whether this feature is being considered?

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-02-23 16:35:31 UTC
Adding this is going to involve lots of mucking about in the partitioning code,
which is probably too much to do in a RHEL update release as it will require
lots of careful testing and has a high likelihood of causing new bugs.  Bug
134638 is an outstanding bug for adding this feature to  Fedora, and that's much
more likely to get done.
