LVM is not an unalloyed win, to say the least, and requires some skill to set up correctly. See http://serverfault.com/questions/279571/lvm-dangers-and-c... for some issues.

I'm not quite sure it's that bad, i've never had a server failure where LVM was a factor but I've had many times where LVM has saved my bacon with the ability to live upsize filesystems. I could see that on a desktop without battery backed write cache that LVM is probably not useful and trying to shrink live filesystems is fraught with peril but in the server use case it is very useful.
