I agree with the sentiments, and I think that the developers can not
see the issues here from an ordinary users perspective, so familiar they
are with what to do with regard to partitioning. At the same time, I
feel that developers -- and especially in the OSS world -- want their
product to be used with ease with more people (that is after all one of
their major rewards) so they would likely be open to changes.

Perhaps, the original poster can consider requesting an enhancement
(RFE) on BZ explaining his views cogently (as he has done here) or on
the devel mailing list (ML) because we are also very often told here
that developers do not hang out much on this ML.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
