Worse: MacOS would keep using the old partition sizes (at least for HFS
type partitions). Best case: you enlarged the partition and MacOS happily
ignores that. Worst case: MacOS keeps writing to disk space that was once
HFS but is now used by another partition (happened to me once).
To force MacOS to reinitialize a partition you need to trash the first
couple of MB using dd AFAIK.
