It's why I asked.
I see what you're saying now, they are recommending it even if you don't
use GPT, using a DOS partition table instead? I don't see the sense in
that because you cannot set the appropriate partition type anyway with a
DOS partition table? I suppose it could make switching to GPT at a later
date less painful.
