Nice to give people a driver and then rip it out when 4.1 comes when Soren fixes the last of the things people needed to have into the ata driver. I was already testing the ata driver and even procured some more info for Soren than he already had. Same goes for a bunch of other people. But the opposite goes for a lot of people. People running CURRENT to be cutting edge as in being elite with the latest FreeBSD thus get bitten. I'd say, cut loose the wd driver.
