in the future we may have a replacement partition scheme that simply allocates a larger dynamic data partition

Most people with more than 0x7000 FIDs have two drives, which means the dynamic data partition's counterpart on the second drive is entirely unused...

Edit: And moreover, it's just occurred to me that most people with more than 0x7000 FIDs have big drives, so that the bit of fdisk code that allocated the dynamic data partitions as 16Mbytes rounded up to the nearest cylinder may already have allocated a significantly larger space. On one 30Gb drive I've got here, the cylinder size is 16,065 sectors, so a 16Mbyte partition would be three cylinders, or 48,195 sectors, or enough for FIDs up to 0xAC43 without any repartitioning or Hijack work except patching the player binary.
