But Matt is unwilling to bring them into current, so they are not a contender as far as I'm concerned. I don't care how wonderful they are. Without someone willing to champion them into -current they don't exist as far as I'm concerned. They also violate the disk layering that we need to maintain as we move to new platforms. Also, diskprep allows one to "mass produce" disks in such a way that you have the same partitioning on all of them, except maybe one "hog" slice that picks up the extra bits that different geometries might require.
