I've been spanked over saying this before ("you don't understand how
open source works"), but necessity easily supercedes idealism.
Linux's libata has evolved very quickly and very well, and has multiple
eyes familiar with the code (in the case the author takes vacation,
etc.). It has the upper hand here.
Linux has more eyes period, which helps a lot. In addition Linux has
more commercial sponsorship - having said that, I've no idea if libdata
development has had any such sponsorship...
However. I do agree that we (that is FreeBSD) need more folks brave
enough to help Soren out with the (S)ATA layer - that means people like
you or me deciding to get our hands dirty with this code...
I'm working on adding ATA/SATA support to CAM.
