I plan to remove fdisk from the next util-linux

[Guy Maor <maor@ece.utexas.edu>]

fdisk is a buggy unmaintained program.  It doesn't make sense for us
to include a program with bugs that make it dangerous.  cfdisk and
sfdisk are both much more reliable.

Ideally somebody should write a curses front end to sfdisk, and we can
get rid of cfdisk as well.  It is the best of the three but isn't
really meant for direct use to repartition.
