recent boot0 changes dropped a partition type?

Hi,
I recently installed 8.0 from the June snapshot ISO. I noticed that the
new boot0 code has had partition type 0xc removed as a recognised
partition type.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.S.diff?r1=1.21;r2=1.22;f=h
That ID is used by FAT32 partitions so in my case I'm getting a "?" on
my Windows partition. If it was removed to save space, I think 0xb
would be more appropriate for removal - it is the non-LBA equivalent of
0xc and I don't think any modern Windows partitioner sets it anymore.
Thanks,
Aragon
