Sounds interesting, could you please describe some details about "lvm/btrfs/zfs make that less of an issue"? Because I use btrfs almost everywhere, so I really wanna know more details about this, or could you please tell me where I can learn something about that?

Believe the point is that resizing partitions is easier with those FSs. But not a big deal since Partition Magic.

  But resizing a swap partition is easiest? (after turning it off) Just recreate the swap with the desired size. Extra easy with LVM.

On ZFS, use a zvol as a swap partition. Easy to create, destroy, resize, have redundant copies for robustness, all of the configuration options you have for a data volume but use for swap. I've done this on both FreeBSD and Linux, never had a problem. However, IIRC there might have been some issues in the past on Linux.
