AFAIK they can be used with MBR, but not the full size can be used with
MBR.

Regarding the "Gene thread" it does matter, because Gene doesn't use an
UEFI mobo and booting from GPT drives seems to require UEFI capable
mobos. Regarding the "Richard thread" it matters, since we were talking
about primary and logical partitions and that some operating systems,
e.g. FreeBSD require a primary partition. However, this issue seems to
be null and void, when using GPT instead of MBR.
