I'm quite sure they aren't actually even supported anymore, since long long time ago, after I upgraded my 2.2.5 to 2.2.6, I got problems with my matcd drive(s, I had 3), and I was told to get a real atapi drive, both in -questions and in -stable. (And that was verified working drives, I rolled back to 2.2.5 until I had bought an atapi drive) and therefore at least I couldn't care less if the support was dropped, since they aren't actually supported at the moment either.
