Not a bad idea at all - file bug/send patches.
A little more on this, I found
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_hard_drive_clicking
it mentions
# hdparm -B 192 /dev/sda
for a similar Toshiba drive to mine, and sure enough it stops the
Load_Cycle count cranking up here along with the clicking I have
