Now you're going off on a tangent.  The only disclaimer needed, as
already mentioned by us, is to point out changing drive structures is
potentially destructive.  Make backups before altering a pre-existing
system.

What I see you doing, and everything you've said leads to this
conclusion:  You're making the classic mistake of over-simplifying
something to the point that you completely ignore necessary aspects.
