I agree. Although I use CAM, and it works for me, and it seems a whole lot better than the old driver, it's not finished yet. I currently have both the old and new drivers in my source tree. If it's too much trouble to keep the old version after the new one has taken up its final place, maybe it should be left where it is at the moment (/sys/cam) until CAM can do everything the old driver could do. This would have the advantage for Justin that it's almost no work.
