I don't see why this should be an unsurmountable thing for GParted to implement. If Parted is removing the code because it's unmaintained and crufty, someone else has a well-maintained tool for the same thing. Why can't GParted call mkfs.x? Parted still resizes partitions, after all...
I think the blame is more to be laid upon GParted than Parted; Parted seems to be going about their business normally, and GParted is apparently sticking to a philosophy of strict adherence to libparted without any additional dependencies?
