uh uh. GPT is too complicated, requires all softwares be upgraded, has EFI hardware requirements that are "versional" (can be hacked in silicon become incompatible). i'm switching to bsd of tape release! no really - if it's not human readable or human fixable no thanks unless "i'm forced to run 5 OS" on one pc - which isn't going to happen i think.
i avoid partitions i know what a mess they are later down the road when it's time to re-shuffle. quite a mess. GPT supports more and that's the opposite direction i'm headed.
