Comment:

 Bumping this to R1B1 milestone and dropping priority of #6452.  GPT
 partitions are really common on new hardware now... and the inability to
 move from GPT to MBR will result in us having to give "boot to linux and
 erase last bytes of the disk" instructions to confused an frustrated
 users.
