I've been trying to figure out exactly what you mean with this change. I've decided you mean this is a line you need to remove in order to build a kernel with wd. Correct? That might work, but I think it's a bit of a kludge. Why not just change the name of the driver to owd? That way people will have to make a conscious effort to stay with that driver, and we can issue them with the dire warnings about the effects of doing so. > And probably an > #error "Don't use this driver, use ata-disk instead" > in wd.d Remember this fix is supposed to be for non-CURRENT users, people who are traumatized enough already. A warning from config(8) would serve a similar purpose.
