Comment 17 for bug 1876139

I realize this is probably just seen as noise. But I think its important that everyone here understand.

Growpart supports using either fdisk or gdisk. But I have recently considered deleting the gdisk support.

I'm curious why fdisk is seen as "an old package". fdisk/sfdisk supports GPT partition tables and has for several years.

Also,
 * it is part of util-linux source (which is Essential).
 * It is maintained and updated (107 commits reference fdisk in util linux since Jan 1, 2019. gpt-fdisk has 25 total commits in that time frame. As much infrastructure is shared with other util-linux tools, that count is not complete).
 * fdisk (installed 505, size 119712) is smaller than gdisk (installed 860, size 214516) and has fewer dependencies.
 * In my opinion, sfdisk is dramatically more usable than sgdisk.
 * I'd even argue that the ui of fdisk is better than gdisk.

If the goal is to have one "partitioner", then fdisk/sfdisk is probably the one to keep.
