Partitions from EBR have names like they were in FreeBSD prior to
GEOM_PART. E.g. ad0s5, ad0s6,... But without this option they may be
like these:

So, do you recommend to change first sentence to:
"The GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT option enables backward compatibility for
partition names in the EBR scheme."

r216755 only allows destroy partition table, but you can not modify nor
partition, nor partition table.
