Potential F14 feature: Use GPT partition table by default for "wipe complete HD" installations

Hi,

how about using GPT[0] partitions for F14 for all installations that wipe
the whole disk to install Fedora? It is also considered to be good by
Tejun Heo[1] and it seems to work nicely already on F12. I just
partitioned a new HD using gdisk and the kernel seems to recognise it
without any problems.

Regards
Till
