Comment:
I probably assigned this to myself to not forget to look at it since it
has a string change.
I honestly only heard of "KiB" and similar for the first time a few days
ago (not counting this ticket) when I saw them in a debian planet post.
So I'm tempted to say that adoption of this notation is signfiicantly
*less* universal than we are being lead to believe.
That being said, the arguments for using it are rather persuasive, and I
agree (with the debian person whose blog I was reading) that those who
don't know what "KiB" means proably also get confused about when we are
using base 10 and when base 2. So I'd say go for it.
