Well, it depends on how the rest of the script looks. If you can't edit
the script to do things DIFFERENTLY, it doesn't really help. For example
if I want to change the code to not repartition the disk (as just came
up on systemimager-discuss). If the partition code is some abstract call
that reads a dynamic db, it will be more difficult or even impossible to
change that. Having a user script exit (or a bunch of them) will not
help this. Its pretty straight-forward to go in and remove all the fdisk
stuff today.
