However, this further obfuscates the fact that libata uses Linux' SCSI midlayer and highlevel. Which is a bad thing. For example, there are further configuration options in the SCSI menu which influence the SCSI midlayer and highlevel, and therefore influence the software stack which drives the ATA disks and ATA CD-ROMs. Hence this change does not make the configuration menu more logical. > Help text left as an exercise for the reader. A pro pos, the help texts and prompts for the SCSI midlayer and highlevel options are... suboptimal. At least as long as these help texts and prompts aren't changed¹ to say what they really do, your BLK_DEV_ATA_SD and BLK_DEV_ATA_SR are actually very nice to have. ------- ¹) No patch attached.
