Comment 13 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-09-09 15:03:36 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 23-beta by Fedora user dshea using the blocker tracking app because:

 per the statement in the beta criteria, "The requirement 'assign mount points to existing storage volumes' is considered to cover the common operation of re-using an existing /home partition without formatting it. For all other mount points, it is acceptable if re-use requires them to be re-formatted. "

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2015-09-10 19:15:12 UTC 
Discussed at 2015-09-10 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-09-10/f23-blocker-review.2015-09-10-16.00.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker. This bug happens when you re-use an existing /home partition and create a user account who has a home directory on that partition: anaconda helpfully tries to ensure the SELinux contexts and ownership are correct, and crashes in doing so.

Thus this is technically a conditional violation - it only happens if you create a user account that 'matches' the existing /home - but we felt this is, if anything, going to be the most likely scenario, so the impact is sufficiently broad to constitute a blocker bug.
