This is ambiguous. Are you saying that because floppies have been broken by
default for a release or two, it's OK to continue that?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537741 has a couple of cc's on it
and indicates at least a handful of people care.

I am not so interested in kernel behavior as in having the floppy drive work
by default for people. If this means adding something to the modprobe or
udev directories for machines that actually have floppy drives, that would
be a good solution.
