If 2.6.20 is about forcing users to have PATA disks treated bu the SATA driver, then let's do it CONSISTENTLY!
Nobody has the moral right to force Linux users to use UUIDs or labels when using device names is still possible in /etc/fstab and in other places! One might depend on backup software that needs the device names not changing during subsequent kernel updates! Once the kernel has switched to libata (which I don't like, but it's Linus' decision after all), let's just f--king stick with it! What is the reason to have it turned ON and OFF and ON and OFF and ON again, with every kernel update?!
