totally disagree.
Using G/M/K to mean 1024 was wrong to start with.

Welcomed correction.

It's not a re-purpose, GB was never meant to mean 1073741824 bytes.

it is not "more correct". It is just correct. Standards are standards.
They mean one thing. Not to change a value according to the context in
which it is used.

I wonder how you would have called a kilometre. because really, kilo
shouldn't mean 1000 to avoid confusion.
