OK so now we need more data. Does the number of partitions increase with age,
or does the the number of partitions corrolate with starting date ? If I live
to a ripe old age will I have a couple of million 512k partitions ? Can the
kernel handle that ? I've read that we can expect icons to grow beyond 16x16
pixels as Bill Gate's eyesight goes. What happens when Linus gets old ?
