Heavens, why ask complexity to a simple question? 'cause we can - why
else?

 Nevertheless, you've given the answer yourself in your first mail.
LVM2 is the current solution for logical volume management and it does
what it is expected to do. Whatever file systems, partitions, logical
volumes or arbitrary stuff like raw partitions, empty spaces or spares
you want, you can put them on LVM logical volumes and wipe them off
there if you want so.
