--- Comment #3 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> ---
The problem is one of the examples given: they can strip it easily enough
today, but they want to, e.g., be able to allow a user to partition their USB
flash drive but not internal media.  Ultimately it'd be kind of nice if gpart
checked permissions on devfs nodes for the disks or something to that effect to
allow finer access control, but that would seem to get hairy quickly.
