Stay realistic and don't talk of 'theoretical' cases. Just a fact: do you know anybody having 15 partitions on his disk? for real? What disk does somebody like this have? Let's go to the mid ranged disks of 400GB (which become 'normal' these days): 400GB to 15 partitions will be 30GB. What exactly would be the need to split such a disk in such small chunks? Backup strategy? Forget about it. You'd clutter your backup all over. Multiboot? How many OSes? I fail to see that this is a real-life problem so far.
