No, because this will *still* cause existing partitions to be matched
by 'dk' units instead of (for example) 'wd' units, which will cause
existing systems to fail to boot -- though in a way which is at least
perhaps possible to recover from using single-user mode, unlike the
issue with the GPT method discovering an irrelevant and unused GPT
table in the alternate location.
