I'd really like to see a new one that supports at least the following 
features:

- Full internal 64-bit LBA support
- Full command line oriented editing support
- Extended/Logical partition editing support
- EFI GUID Partition Table editing support
- Nicely formated output
EFI GUID partition tables is not very hard to add, as the relevant library 
support
required is already available in FreeBSD.  Although handling of labels in 
the kernel
is something that needs to be thought about.

Since we don't have GEOM, it might be possible to achieve handling of EFI 
partitions
using our messaged disk subsystem layer, minus Vinum which might create
problems.
