Does this mean we can expect to see the disabling of GEOM exclusive-use
protections disappear from normal administrative activities soon, as there
will now be approved channels to incrementally change the layout of in-use
partition tables?
There is already a mechanism for that. How do you think bsdlabel(8) and
fdisk(8) works ?
I understand that. This was a pragmatic question rather than a philosophical
question: I know it can be done, but is it now being done. The answer appears
to be yes.
