But simple the support of DSK (or SAD) should be preserved too, since it's
good for its simplicity and so many utils can work with it (them).

From what I understand SDF is a discontinued format and this spawned the
discussion on a generic format for representing all sam disk geometrys
with headers for containing information and such like.
The reason for persevering with the DSK format is for simplicity but as I
have said in the NVG re-org mails but as soon as a format is available
they will all get moved into this format and hopefully the complications
of dealing with the mish-mash of DSK/TD0/SADv1/SADv2/MGT/PAK/LIB/SBT
formats will be over.
