Just to follow up on the point: it's very important that the new ATA driver see as much testing exposure as possible -- that's one reason why paying close attention to the upgrade path. If we knock users off 9-CURRENT due to upgrade problems, then we'll reduce testing for this feature just as much as any others. This is a good reason to resolve the problems as quickly as possible!
