Why not? The installer doesn't invoke the cleanup routines...it just sees
a filesystem that was not cleanly unmounted.
How can one "see" a fs that is not cleanly unmounted? I mean what does
anaconda do to check for that?
With ext2 you get a warning, journaling fs on the other hand know what to do.
It would be great if it could just recover the fs on mount and continue.

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
