Still present in Hardy and probably every future revision since it's not
been dealt with. NewWorld partitions aren't required on Pegasos, Efika
or any other PPC system that doesn't use Apple partitioning. openSuSE
11.0 beta has implemented a check for these systems (via "hwinfo") to
enable Mac bootloader and partitioning requirements to be skipped or
disabled automatically by the Installer.
A similar solution should be simple to add (a check for /proc/cpuinfo or
/proc/device-tree/openprom/CODEGEN,vendor property for "bplan" would do
it).
