Why 0xDA?

Yes. http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
lists 0xDA as

    da Non-FS Data

        Added on request of John Hardin (johnh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

which is the closest we could come to "you won't want to look at
or do anything to this partition".


But that's not really what it is, either. The best would be to pick a new partition identifier entirely.
