I'm sometimes not sure). I want to merge old IDE driver w/ libata... and drop remaining crap on the way.

Do you think that libata is currently so much better wrt to PATA hot-(un)plug support? If so than dream on... > Yes, I think it's similar to OSS-ALSA, WRT - you know, 6-months forward > notice etc :-) Ain't going to happen... Guys, I'm not against libata PATA support - I'm all for it but I want TRANSPARENT development and FAIR look at current state of affairs (there is still a lot of stuff on libata's PATA TODO)... Plus I don't like needless bashing of IDE driver which is still messy but orders of magnitude less than during 2.4.x days... :-) Bartlomiej - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
