If this is the case, we can explicitly list the supported file systems in
criteria. The list would need to be extended with at least vfat, which is
used for ESP, though.

If we go this route, it would be nice to communicate this somehow to the
end user, directly in anaconda interface. Either by showing a warning when
a "not officially supported" filesystem is selected, or by hiding those
filesystems in dialogs when creating a new partition (with a documented
override). Existing partitions still need to be handled somehow, so the
warning bar might need to be implemented in any case (warn that the
existing partition is unsupported by allow to use it, or warn that the
existing partition can't be used unless the override is activated).
