That's not my point at all. My point here is "that's not a portable
answer." Sparcs, PPCs and other systems have their own native partition
table formats. Forcing somebody into a specific partition table type
seems to me to be an unnecessary complication when we can achieve
exactly the same effect --- uuids on devices --- through the use of
logical devices.
The logical volume solution works, is already implemented, and works
regardless of whatever partitioning scheme you are using. So I just
don't see any reason to complicate things by adding a new partition
type.
