So what? Put > everything on one partition and go on. Yes, let's do away with partitions altogether, who needs them? Let's also get rid of directories, and come to think of it, let's put everything into one binary file (kernel + userspace)! Perhaps we can call it "initeverything"? Nice and tidy! Oh, better yet, let's put it into the firmware (may need to expand current flash ROM though), that way we can do away with harddrives (saving stuff in the volatile memory instead)!
