This is certainly pretty high on the to-do list, but all my energy's
off in a few other directions right now - trying to get the bits in
place to pull some of the nicer parts of Core 3 into the
distributions.

If anyone has a working 7.2 system handy and can do a bit of research
into what was dropped from Anaconda between then and now, and what'd
be involved in putting it back, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Ideally, getting Disk Druid to work with an offset of a cylinder or
two would be the goal, but just popping the fdisk button back in is as
good a workaround as any.
