Sure there is. LVM2 and EVMS both support compatibility with LVM1 volumes. My betting money is on the devicemapper that's the kernel core of LVM2 being integrated and EVMS having to port the better elements of their code the devicemapper interface. EVMS is more complex and some of the EVMS developers have been doing a very effective job of rubbing the kernel developers the wrong way.

And here's a link about LVM2 and LVM1 compatibility by one of the LVM1/2 writers.

So hopefully 2.6/3.0/WhateverTheyCallIt will have a nice, sane LVM and four journalling file systems to choose from. And by then, all of file systems should have online resize support for at least growing the file system which will compliment the LVM quite nicely.
