Unfortunately, I think there is genuine value in such a hack. E.g., I've got two USB-to-SATA adapters. One works correctly. One does not. But at this point, I can't attach both of my high-capacity disks to the laptop at the same time, which makes it difficult to bulk-transfer files from one to the other. If, for the deficient adapter, the kernel assumed the disk size was the end of the last partition (or the backup GPT partition table, if that follows), then I could use it for everything other than repartitioning. And that would make life easier.
