Then they should not increase the logical block size for the products
where they worry about it.  It's not like larger blocks are a feature
the Linux wants, it's want that makes hardware vendors life easier and
is thus pushed by them.  Of course it doesn't make sense for every
product line, but it's not like Linux is going to stop supporting
512 byte or 4k blocks.
