How about old users? Perhaps in this new-user-friendly form:

"Use UUID (recommended), LABEL or device name ?"

Disclaimer: I've never heard of uuids before. But perhaps it'd make
sense for those of us who are using older releases of Fedora, have
several partitions, and would like to install F9 in a separate
partition so we can go back to F8 or F7 in case something goes
wrong, to chose LABEL.

Or: "OK, let me chose the default".
