It is flabbergasting that the marketing spin (started in late 80s, I
believe) to make hard drives look bigger by redefining the kilobyte as
1000 bytes has now hit Ubuntu as well. Every filesystem I have ever
worked with did stick to the old definition of kb (1024 bytes) and MB
(1024*1024 MB) and all applications and all users have come to rely on
it.

Introducing change for change's sake is helping nobody - and just
marking this as "Invalid" is downright arrogant in my book. If you need
to introduce insanity in Lucid's filesystem, at least make it
configurable for those of us who do not want to loose consistency with
the rest of the world.
