Quite true, I think now, when I read this - even if I had possibilities
enough to influence the decision...
But then again, this can become a long discussion.
One could even a step further and not take the "2" in the name, just
give it a version number above 2 (or above whetever version setup
harddisks currently has...).
On the other hand, it's quite advanced and a total new codebase that
even might deserve a completely new name. Is "magic" really that bad?
Other ideas: "setup harddisk ng", "storage setup"
Hmm, the last describes it's goals and work best - if storage is
something remotely, we are not setting up a harddisk, and it is no magic
but hard calculation... (no, we shouldn't call it "hard storage setup
calculator and setup tool" :) )
