[edit] Disc-based limitations subsection

"This is seen as a weakness of a disc-based format."

I removed this. Not only is it a weasel phrase, it is flat out wrong. In fact the Disc-based limitations subheading should be renamed, as the problem that it describes has more to do with the design of the filesystem than the fact that it happens to live on a disc. True the problem would be less of one on an electronic medium (primarily due to write speed, and power demand); but there would still be a danger of trashing the system file if power was lost during a write—with the same consequence. A more fault tolerant approach (perhaps involving journaling and redundancy) would greatly lessen the danger, regardless of the medium.

Renamed the subheading to "Disc organisation limitations"
