I'm one of those developers. We've hashed this out before.
I'm pretty sure Greg's with me on this one. If the device can be handled
in userspace, then it should be. If it's storage emulation mode is not
good enough to handle in userspace, then a kernel update will have to be
done.
OK, that sounds good. So, I withdraw objections after Rahul's question,
as far as Fedora is concerned.
On the kernel side, should we discard all the cruft un unusual_devs.h?
