<willy> jgarzik: apparently you promised to turn on sata atapi by default
in 2.6.16
<jgarzik> willy: hmmm, I guess its 2.6.17 now

Possibly the kernel team need to make this change themselves.

As you say, Joey's decided to treat this as an example of another kind
of bug now, but I want you to be aware that 2.6.16 won't have this on
by default.
