Since both bugs are arguably kernel bugs (some modules on some platforms can't work without also loading ide-generic, but the kernel provides no mechanism to find that out), I think it has rather a lot to do with the issue at hand. > The question was "should yaird not be made the default" and i answered > that this is probably not a good idea because the DD maintainer (you) > doesn't seem able to fix bugs without consulting his upstream and that > said upstream is MIA. An MIA upstream is indeed a serious problem. A maintainer being unwilling to accept a bad hack to work around brokenness elsewhere is less of an issue, at least IMHO.
