The big problem I see here is if the LVM data is kept in a config file
somewhere and not anywhere on a disk, we can't ever realistically support
LVM'd boot/root.  Will we ever be able to support alternate boot/root
methods besides straight FFS?

Disklabels are still good things to have, I think...

Being able to resize partitions on the fly would be really really
cool...
