I think perhaps it /is/ time to start looking seriously at this option.

I have deep dislike for "Choose your boot floppy from these 23,456
possibilities, each of which is guaranteed to have 95% of the drivers you
need for your hardware, but not the other 5%" type methodology.  On the
other hand, 2 or even 3 clean divisions like that could make things a lot
easier to fit, and remain easy to use.
