Yeah, that makes sense. Will the device-tree move to /sys some day ? What
about things like the /rtas node ?
But it will be years before all the distros move to it probably, see how most
of them still use parsing of the parted command line output for handling
partition table detection, and thus fail on anything not MBR.
