I've been bit by it when trying to create some partitions on my own, but
that's not a good enough reason when there are other things to highlight.

With grouping things together, it could be something that's mentioned in
passing -- it's not a bullet point on its own for sure. However, if the
feeling is to drop it completely, I can drop it completely --  I don't
feel strongly enough to argue for it.
