Comment 15 for bug 68924

coulson: why? End users don't give a damn about the implementation details. I can't see the advantage of not creating a solution that works in a couple of days instead of waiting endlessly for someone to do it "properly". Nothing stops you from doing the "proper" solution later. My proposal is definitely easy to implement and is a shortcut to what Gparted does already.

If this is about making life easier to end users, then "hacky" or "proper" is meaningless. If this is about academic correction then you're right.

(The discussion is somewhate futile. The Big Brother has already dismissed this and us poor end users will have to wait probably another three years. I can't believe this bug is from 2006.)
