I can kinda see Johann's point, which is that - since most dual boot
installs will require a resize - if we don't 'support' resize, we're
really not 'supporting' dual boot installs. He's not wrong. But overall,
I think it's worthwhile having the criterion to ensure that, as cmurf
said, we at least make sure we get the bootloader stuff right at release
time.
