Needless to say, I completely agree. It's not 'everything is a file,
except for disk partitions'. We've had enough of that crap with inet
sockets, bus- and other layering devices, X Windows, and misc other
mal{designed,implemented} stuff already. No need to make classic mistakes
/again/.

From the fool file:
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.
