So you don't care that your Linux system will deadlock if a PATA disk

a couple of times. Never seen it with Windows, it just tells you that
the disk is gone.
Actually I suspect most Linux users are smart enough not to pull a PATA
drive out while in use, and it works just fine if you offline the drive
before removal.
That's not a good argument, other things can happen to throw a disk offline.
Flaky IDE or power cables and disk failure come to mind.
Linux handles these just fine.
