This is BROKEN user space code (hdparm assumes what is being returned). And broken userspace code is different. He does not like to break correct userspace code. And this code is in what I would classify as a non-critical path, this breaks some monitoring tools/utilities but does not impact critical functionality and/or change results that customers/clients would be depending on outside of the monitoring path.
