The UPDATING record tells nothing about removing `device ata`. `options ATA_CAM` only trims it from full ATA infrastructure to a CAM driver for legacy ATA controllers not supported by the new, more advanced drivers ahci(4), mvs(4) and siis(4). ata(4) man page was updated respectively. It is not mandatory any more. You would be free to remove `device ata` from your kernel if you had no such hardware, but obviously you have it. -- Alexander Motin
