We already have had months and months of testing in CURRENT (4.0) before we released it. The consensus was that wd would be retired in 5.0 in favor of ata. >Having two drivers is good, because one could always try to switch to >the old wd(4) driver until his problem with ata(4) driver gets resolved. Having two drivers for the same purpose is kinda useless in the new CURRENT. It will remain in 4.x. We already made the decision a few weeks/months back about nuking/axing wd in CURRENT as soon as we branched. sos has been bothering -hackers/current so often if people could please (note the begging) test his driver and provide him feedback that I don't agree with the statement of keeping wd around. Also, this is CURRENT.
