 It got replaced sometime in 2005, probably before Jim reset the
changelogs.  At that time we didn't have a ppc64 book, the change
was made in ppc.  I don't have strong feelings either way (used to use
mac-fdisk, but parted works ok).  Probably, one reason for the
change is that mac-fdisk isn't maintained and parted is.  Perhaps
someone thought that parted would spread to other architectures in
the book (e.g. it works fine on x86 as far as I can remember).
