mkfs command in grub

[technologypages]

Can someone please comment if adding filesystem creation support to grub 
is reasonable.

Please see the rationale at 
http://www.geocities.com/technologypages/grub-mkfs.txt

Will the developers consider adding this feature? It is rather easy to 
implement as far as I can see -- only glue for external filesystem 
creation code needs to be added.

Although the swap sharing use case discussed in the rationale is 
trivial, it is a common problem that may bring many multi-OS users over 
to GRUB 2 and create positive "media coverage" (if that feature will be 
added).
