I am not really concerned about sharing filesystems between FreeBSD and Linux.
What I am concerned about is the lack of rsync, linuxfdisk and mkfs.ext2 in the
FreeBSD installer. Having these components in the FreeBSD installer permits
multiple conveniences via the FreeBSD installation CD/DVD/memstick not
available otherwise. These components make the installer's shell much more
powerful.

As for GPT and UEFI, these are a real pain. GPT cannot multi-boot; UEFI is
GPT-linked crap that originated at Intel.

Operating systems work best with MBR and BIOS.

Irrespective of whether one uses MBR+BIOS or GPT+UEFI, the components I request
are still needed in the installation media.
