Within an "extended" partition, several logical partitions can be created, so you're not actually limited to four filesystems per hard disk. Do you just dislike extended partitions for some reason? In fact, the limitation of four primary partitions per hard disk is just a property of the MBR program. It wouldn't be difficult (surely it must have been done somewhere?) to support more than four primary partitions, though this would annoy some system utilities that expect to look at the first sector and see a partition table in the common format.
