The problem does not end with fdisk. There are tons of tools (sfdisk,
parted, dosemu, ...) which would be affected.
I think that the important thing to remember is that these tools are
already broken; they just don't know it. It is better to tell the tools
you don't know the geometry than to make something up which won't work
for its intended purpose.
In some cases the tools still require this information but don't really
need it at all ( like dosemu ) so they really need to be fixed. It is
silly to require a lie that you don't even use.
