As of tomorrow's daily builds (assuming they build successfully,

GRUB should be in its own partition, tentatively containing repair tools
too.
This makes Ubuntu or any Linux undestroyable by Windows or anyone.
Restoring GRU/Ubuntu would be a most standard setting of a boot flag.
Similarly, the swap partition should be a Linux file.
This frees the user from swap considerations and opens Linux to dynamic
swap size.
I once made twin disks and I fell in a trap.
I thought Linux would use the only swap partition on the disk.
But the swap partition was referenced by UUID.
Using both features would make the partition count a statu quo.
I, as a Linux sower, find both topics important when I make an
installation.* *
