James, the "current SAS class" _will_go_ into the kernel because:

who decide what goes in or not.
No, not for these reasons.
It will go in because it is small, and can be improved over time as
vendors such as Adaptec teach us the proper topology.
It is a standard problem: engineers know their hardware, and know the
specs, but not the Linux development process.
An Adaptec SAS driver can be in the 2.6.14 kernel, if it is small.
The process then starts:
1) Luben points out a problem.
2) The best solution is discussed.
3) A patch is created to solve that one problem.
4) Go to step #1.
We grow SAS support, like growing a plant or tree. Start with a seed,
not a full-grown tree.
