For your entertainment, here are the usage numbers from the linux-2.6.17
kernel:
kilobyte (-i) 82
kibibyte (-i) 2
megabyte (-i) 98
mebibyte (-i) 0
gigabyte (-i) 32
gibibyte (-i) 0
KB 1151
kB 407
KiB 181
MB 3830
MiB 298
GB 815
GiB 17
So I remain unconvinced.
Of course, your general point is a good one. If there are actually
systems using this, it might be worth considering. But if not, then
we're just going to confuse people.
