You're welcome :)

During the discussion I referred to, several details of GPT, such as
GUIDs, were, well, discussed. I thought he might find it to be useful. The
latter part of my reply may not have been constructive for relatively
limited minds, but the first part was, hopefully for everyone.

The fact that I've participated in discussions and filed PR's makes me
part of the NetBSD Project for at least a tiny bit -- I will not allow
bureaucratic definitions to mask facts. But rest assured, I do not feel
bound by any official and/or collectivistic opinion (as you've probably
noticed >:P).

In /many/ cases, as I've noticed.

If you're really here to deliver a reprimand as my instinct tells me, I'm
probably a threat to your collectivistic opinion. In any case, I have /no/
intention of inhibiting sane, open-minded discussion. In fact, I'm here to
promote it.

I don't see why the way people have historically partitioned disks should
dictate which kernels we build and distribute by default in the future.
