Well, udev uses its own `ata_id` (which issues IDENTIFY DEVICE through ATA PASS-THROUGH) though. Anyway I expected the reasoning you gave and I can't really argue with you. It's just personally I still prefer a cleaner SATL implementation (considering Linux is open source and can be deemed as some sort of reference), so I gave it a go. Not that SAT requires the DI VPD return only one desingator / LU name though.
