I'm not sure that it's a good idea to make GPT the default any time
soon, since most tools don't support it very well yet, and most versions
of Windows won't boot of it (much as I hate holding things back for
worse operating systems, having a default that makes it impossible to
boot Windows seems like a bad idea). Having it available in the
installer would be really nice though. Even just including gdisk and
syslinux on the install disk would make things a lot easier in some
situations.
