VERY true !

GPT has effectively ended the need for 'extended' partitions.
However it's still good for people to KNOW about them. I still
have a couple older boxes/systems that are MBR with extended
partitions and no UEFI. If you CAN do it the older, simpler,
way - why not ? Lots more documentation.

Ummm ... that's REALLY kludgy and a "file" really
isn't a "file system". For 99.9% these days I'd
rec GPT and straight-up GPT partitions with single
filesystems on them. It's KISS.
