Subject: Why not use partition d?

I recently saw a statement on -hackers which asserted that one
should not use partition d on FreeBSD disks "for historical
reasons".  The person who made the claim does not remember those
historical reasons.  Does anybody here know if the advice is
factual and, if so, why?

Please Cc me as I'm not a subscriber to -chat at the moment.
