It's just that the usefulness seems very limited at this point so it might be better idea to flip the default behavior and let people opt in for SSS. The problem is compounded by the complete serial behavior we end up with and on some machines large number of ahci ports. I don't care much about boot time all that much but as that seems to be a hot issue on desktops too these days.
