why not make everything partitionable?

Hi folks,

you cannot create partitions within partitions, but you can well use
whole disks for a filesystem without any partitions.

Along the same lines, I wonder why md/mdadm distinguish between
partitionable and non-partitionable in the first place. Why isn't
everything partitionable?

Thanks for any explanation(s)!

the reason that every major university
maintains a department of mathematics
is that it's cheaper than
institutionalizing all those people.
