Jordan --

Yes, we want to disable anything non-spec (and in some cases, even those). Size 
sensitive applications are always trying to take out the pieces that they don't 
absolutely need. Adding a simple PCD allows us to make that choice without 
having to branch the code.

I don't see a reason to want to disable it. It will just cause an extra DiskIo 
to be produced for the UDF "partition".

Do you think a PCD is really needed Andrew?
