Just some comments after reading after this [1] because I honestly find it unfair the way I am being cornered here. First of all, neither Fedora or openSUSE seem to use glowlight as their primary partitioning tool nor are they using discoverable partitions. Secondly, discoverable partitions are primarily intended for containers and systemd is using mkosi [2] for generating such images with discoverable partitions. Thirdly, Luca Boccassi considers himself to be systemd upstream [3] without disclosing that information here. This is an information that he should at least have disclosed before starting to voice his support for discoverable partitions and insisting that the feature is important enough to kill off parted.
