The work has already been done and it is a wortwhile work. The risk is quite low (this is the statement based on rather deep understanding of IDE subsystem, the complete audit of all code-paths affected and all the testing experiences from Scalex86/me). Moreover the patch won't be merged after few months of extra testing. I feel that you still keep on questioning the point of improving IDE and insist on putting it into "bug-fixes only" mode. If this is really the case I'm completely uninterested in discussing it any further.
What, exactly, is the point of making more than bug-fix-only changes to the IDE code today, when we have libata around which is a much better code base to work from? I'm afraid it still escapes me. I don't mean to denigrate the work that you and other people working on IDE are doing, but can't help but think there would be more productive outlets for it..
