Comment 16 for bug 446891

I see that lp:~flimm/usb-creator/warn-before-format was added as a fix to this bug.

Is this a temporary fix or the final solution? I hope that it is temporary since there is no other behavior in Ubuntu that reformats an entire drive, wiping out all partitions at once.

If this is the final solution I suggest changing the installation CD's to not install this product by default, but instead make it available through synaptic.
