This would be a bad idea IMNSHO. Remember that you can only have 4 primary
partitions and if if you have multiple OS's you quickly start to run out of
them.
Personally I like the fact that I can have several BSD partitions inside one
slice (DOS partition). DOS partitions are a fairly scarce resource, so we
shouldn't use more of them than necessary.
