It looks like some partitioning > sanity check to me, not something we should assert on. The reason was that empty partition imply overhead and there is no need for that, so I would preffer partitioning algs to never create the empty parts (there was various issues with partitioning that lead to them). But for release branch, dropping the assert is just fine. Honza
