While this change may come as a surprise to many people I really think that it moves things forward and that David is the right person to take over. I consider his handling of other trees to be top notch and by not being IDE/libata person he has the needed objectiveness w.r.t. to the current state of affairs in the both subsystems. Moreover since David happens to be affiliated with the same company that stands behind libata he will be more than careful to handle things on the technical basis with taking interest of all users as a top priority. I'm still around (same goes for all other major IDE people, though Sergei seems to be on vacation at the moment ;) and I have already declared the willingness to help in making the change as painless as possible for all parties involved. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
