I had radio buttons previously with a bit different interaction and 
based on testing and feedback, I got to the point that checkbox which 
enables/disables assistant would be better interaction here.

But I agree that we might find better wording for it, so that it's clearer.

I don't know disk druid, but based on other partitioning tools I think I 
understand where you are heading.

For flavors it is a little bit different case:
* Partitioning assistant is trying to figure out how to best distribute 
partitions across your hard drive and fully consume 100% of it
* The purpose of Flavor Assistant is to help to utilize your Node at 
maximum.
* BUT we cannot ensure max utilization with Assistant, because it still 
depends on user, what Max Flavor Size he will enter.
     * If user enters it's size wrong (e.g. 2/3 of the whole Node 
capacity), max utilization is unachievable.
* So the real thing what assistant is doing is to properly half flavor 
resources (CPU, RAM Disks), so that utilization can be maximized.
     * Maximized means that one flavor is using the same space as two 
smaller ones. And the same rule applies for all flavors.

If we keep the checkbox, do you have any suggestions for the wording? Or 
anybody?

'Enable Assistant (halving of flavor resources)'

Would this one be better?
