Heh, well, I had thought about some other possible improvements to
that section but hadn't quite worked them out, but you inspired me to

v5 patch attached which I think further improves clarity/brevity of

I'd agree that the commit would now be more along the lines of editing
/ improvements / copyrighting of "Partition Maintenance" docs.
