Yes, the comments in the pccardd man page are correct (eg, that's why
things are they way they are). However, once the underlying problems
in the kernel were fixed, pccardd wasn't updated to be less smart

The primary reasons are historical.
What happens in NEWCARD with a rl card aren't relevant to this
discussion :-) The reason that you can't eject the rl0 card has to do
with something else (likely an ISR that doesn't properly terminate
when the card is gone or a detach routine that's minorly bogus).
