Should I laugh ?

Seriously here. Those things used to work, you broke them.

It may be worthwile cleanup / improvements, but at the end of the day,
if you are the maintainer for drivers/ide, and things as fundamental as
supporting proper ide_cs seems to be totally part of your job. I'm not
saying ide_cs is broken today (though I suspect it -may- be suffering
from similar breakage to media-bay), however, I'm reacting to your
apparent lack of interest in making sure these things work.
