I would be highly confused if anything on my system starts to use KiB and GiB... I know hardware vendors always did it... not out of lack of knowledge, but the figures just sound better... IF this ever get's enabled, please only with very sane and simple way to switch to 'normal' display.
You are one of the results of the unsuing confusion. [kK]B always was "wrong" for 1024 Bytes. Now "they" decided to fix it for good by introducing new binary prefixes for sizes. "Ki" for instance for 2^10, "Mi" for 2^20 and so on. So, the only thing which would change would be the strings, not the multiplier (1024).
