Hi. Since FreeBSD 9.0 we are successfully running on the new CAM-based ATA stack, using only some controller drivers of old ata(4) by having `options ATA_CAM` enabled in all kernels by default. I have a wish to drop non-ATA_CAM ata(4) code, unused since that time from the head branch to allow further ATA code cleanup. Does any one here still uses legacy ATA stack (kernel explicitly built without `options ATA_CAM`) for some reason, for example as workaround for some regression? Does anybody have good ideas why we should not drop it now? -- Alexander Motin
