Andre, There's no problem. I just do not make the confusion between mainline, which should keep compatible, and "add-ons" which sometimes can break compatibility with mainline, but which are targetted at experienced users. I'm happy that SATA goes into mainline IF it does not rename drives which currently work in earlier releases. That does not prevent me from using more advanced features and be prepared to change fstab and lila.confo on a particular machine if/when I upgrade. Mainline is *the* reference that even newbies can use for blind upgrades without risk. Fortunately, there are lots of wonderful things around to complete this stable reference.
