Realistically (and I hate myself for saying this) libata-pata does

Agreed, libata-pata is a much better version of ide-scsi. ;-)
If there is general consensus about ide-scsi removal I think that we
should start with disabling ide-scsi Kconfig entry in 2.6.24 to later
remove the ide-scsi driver completely in 2.6.25.
Perhaps it is strange to hear me say this, but...
My experience with the IDE driver in the field is that ide-scsi sees a
fair amount of use, as an intentional replacement for ide-cd and the
other hand-written ide-$class ATAPI drivers.
I would prefer that ide-scsi stays around as long as ide stays around.
Of course ... as long as we get to address you as Mr Maintainer ...
I don't claim maintainer, I only claim there are quite a few _users_.
Which is IMO the far more relevant point.
