A while ago I told you that if you could show that the transport class abstraction could not support both the aic94xx and LSI SAS cards then we could look at doing SAS differently. Since then you have asserted many times that a transport class could not work for the aic94xx (mostly by making inaccurate statements about what the transport class abstraction is) but have never actually provided any evidence for your assertion. In a recent prior email, you said: > Now to things more pertinent, which I'm sure people are interested in: > > Jeff has been appointed to the role of integrating the SAS code > with the Linux SCSI _model_, with James Bottomley's "transport > attributes". > So you can expect more patches from him. So very soon now, with proof by code, we shall have confirmation or negation of that assertion. I'll wait quietly for this to happen, and I would suggest you do the same.
