There are too many exceptions for the rule to be useful.
I know it's a pain for the three people who have a need for more than 16
partitions per disk, but a custom-modified util-linux package is probably
the best way in the short-term, and reducing the number of partitions is
the best way in the long term. SCSI isn't going to die anytime soon. :)
