Wise words. ;)

Either way, my suspicions say this is gonna get easier moving forward  
(Fremantle, N900, etc.), if features like this interest you, vote for  
them.[1]

That said, there's a lot of room for the community to step up and make  
things better for itself. Personally, I'm pushing the Community  
distribution.[2] Which might help reduce the impact of SSU updates on  
community hacks (i.e., not annihilating bootmenu with every new  
update), and if somebody wanted to put together a GUI partition  
manager (sfdisk probably causes the most pain and suffering out of the  
whole procedure), and, perhaps, a cloning wizard, then things would be  
much simpler.
