If and only if there is overwhelming demand for shrinking individual partitions. If we accept the alternative view where we compose filesystems out of multiple partitions, then we achieve the same effect by adding or removing entire partitions dynamically. I'm keen to hear opinion on this; the ability to relatively resize individual partitions on a single disk is right now the only significant argument which really requires LVM support rather than being capable of implementation within the filesytem.
