Parted
So... I set myself to test my GPT patch for Parted, and end up reviewing the
whole Parted situation. Here's a status update:
GPT support fixed/tested, see #548436. Still doesn't fix support for big
disks, though (see #559647).
Aurelien's segfault fix [1] seemed quite obvious, so I submitted it to
BTS, bug #559645 (btw, is severity appropiate? I don't know if GNU/kFreeBSD
bugs are considered RC these days...).
Only missing thing seems to be [2], for which I don't know the context
(whether it is intended to be merged, etc). Can this be submitted? What
is the rationale behind this change?

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
