http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/libata-gt15partitions.txt shows considerably more are

Stable? What does that mean? Modern operating systems, once booted, make no
distinction between primaries and non-primaries - all are treated equally as
logical, as any partition at all is nothing more than an artificial (logical)
division of a physical device.
