I re-install with FDE quite often, either when I do some destructive
experiment or simply b0rk my current system. I have full ansible
automation to handle it, but can't autoinstall.

I also do it for VPS. I re-install all my hosts in local network and
ship bunch of qcow2 images over SFTP to re-provision VPS instances.

Again, FDE password being the only thing not allowed in autoinstall is
the only thing preventing full automation, like a nail house on a
motorway.  This inconsistency forces me to go over the whole process
manually for each machine.
