why is disk partitioning finalized so early in the install?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  my apologies for what might be a few more silly questions but, in
my current install, i'm seeing a new dialog "Writing partitioning to
disk" that strongly suggests the partition table is going to be
updated *now* rather than near the end of the install process as it's
historically been.

  is that what's happening?  is there a reason this has been changed?
it was always pretty convenient to know you could bail on an install
really late.  but now, it looks like you're committed to it much
earlier.
