>   The purpose of the PMBR is to have the disk appear in use to GPT
>   unaware utilities (like fdisk).  However, if the PMBR has been changed
>   by a GPT unaware utlity then we must assume that this was deliberate
>   (as it involved removal of the special slice) and we should not treat
>   the unmodified GPT-specific sectors as being valid.  By lowering the
>   probe priority in that case, the MBR scheme will take precedence and
>   the kernel will end up using the MBR and not the GPT. We will still
>   use the GPT if the kernel does not support the MBR scheme.

Thank you very much for this change!
Finally I can get rid of my local patch from a while ago:

Your solution is clearly superior while providing the same end result.
