It's not always that simple.  It's now possible to get >2TB in a 1U
case with no room for anything other than a single additional laptop
drive.  What now?  Stick your OS on a non-redundant drive?  Try to
hot-glue another drive somewhere?  Not really smart.  One hack I've
thought about is to stick a GPT-capable GRUB on a floppy or a USB
dongle that's left permanently plugged in.  (It's even possible to
jury-rig an internal USB flash drive for this.)

The 2TB limit is going to start interfering much more often in the
near future, especially with 1TB drives due out in a few months.  I
hope that server-class boards start switching over to EFI before that
happens.
