Why are we transitioning to 22-partition diskabels? That limit only
applies to the *BSD label. MacOS-based labels can have any number of
drives. In fact, we could have the pathelogical case of someone having 64
partitions! Also, w/ MBR disklabels, we could get more than 22 partitions
on a drive (if you have multiple OS's and each one has support for lots of
partitions).
