BZZZZT.  You could do df -k with `BLOCKSIZE=1K df' too but I don't see
you complaining about the -k flag or advocating for its removal.  This
is just John's shorthand for gigabytes and probably not an unexpected
evolution in light of today's drive sizes; thank god we got to skip
over -m for megabytes.

FWIW, I didn't like the idea of another flag much either (we gonna add
-g to du(1) next?  It has a -k flag too) but I couldn't argue against
it from a POLA or consistency standpoint (there is -k AND there is
BLOCKSIZE, enough said) so, unlike you, I didn't attempt to shoot John
down with some hypocritical argument and simply approved the change
with a sigh.
