I also like gpart(8) but still often prefer linuxfdisk(8) because of its
interactive mode and finger memory -- that's a fairly common usecase for
us old farts. :)

Technically it is maintained by Valentin; I believe he's still active in
public, although I haven't spoken to him in a while.  Also, being a user

removal from the base, so I keep my hand on its pulse.

Or I can just keep using `sysutils/linuxfdisk' which works fine as it is.
