OK, the more this thread continues, the more it's looking as if we're talking about different things. I don't have (much) of an objection to removing it from sysinstall. If that's all we're talking about, I don't have any further objections. But I still want to have the facility in the system. I wonder how long the current Microsoft partition table has to live, anyway? Sooner or later people are going to have to move to LBA addressing, or disks will get so big that the partition table can't address them. Then, hopefully, we'll be able to use a more sane layout.
