    The question is whether we can simply require that vinum partitions
    skip the label area (i.e. the starting block has to be at least 16
    for a partition created with a normal disklabel) or whether there
    are backwards compatibility issues that require us to support vinum
    writing into the disk's label area.

The problem is rather that you can place a partition into the label area. This should be off limits.
