No - people will need retraining as well as scripts. Any sysadmin
who expects that resize will have fixed the underlying filesystem
will be sadly mistaken.
(And I wish there was a way for parted to fork/exec a filesystem-specific
program or script, actually fixing the filesystem as well as the
partition table, in order to keep providing sysadmins with the same
capabilities they are used to. The main reason I started using
GNU Parted was because it had this fs-resizing capability, in a
time when no other partition editor could do it.)
