[parted-devel] Logical sector size warning still accurate?

Hi,

libparted still includes this warning:

        if (dev->sector_size != PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT) {
                ped_exception_throw (
                        PED_EXCEPTION_WARNING,
                        PED_EXCEPTION_OK,
                        _("Device %s has a logical sector size of %lld.  Not "
                          "all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, "
                          "and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.\n"),
                        dev->path, dev->sector_size);
        }

Is this still accurate?  Given that we've now had a stable release
advertising support in its NEWS file for >512-byte sectors, it seems odd
that libparted still throws an exception when it encounters such disks.

Thanks,
