GPT does have one glaring problem, though: compatibility. Some OSes, particularly older ones, have limited or no GPT support.
I may be missing something important here, but FreeBSD supports GPT for i386 and amd64 since 7.0.
And installing something older than 7.4 is looking for trouble anyway.

Unless there are machines/BIOSs that don't support booting off GPT? But isn't GPT compatible with MBR since it has a "legacy" MBR in block 0?
