Comment 77 for bug 116996

Andrew:

Your argument is correct, though I read comment 44, I didn't take it too
serious, I have to admit.
And I didn't take too much care (if any) about bug #117314 since it
describes the same situation.

In a previous comment I complained about too little verbosity of ubuntu
kernel devs;
apparently, they gave a comment in #117314 (Philip Lougher).

I can understand that kernel devs are too busy to comment every bug
record, but I did expect they would comment on the first report filed on
a particular bug, and not onto a later one (which I do regard as being
at least interesting);

Anyway, that's the story why I didn't get the information that switching
from ata_piix to piix was done intentionally.
However, I asked about this expicitly in comment 32 and again in comment
65 of my own report (#116996), but nobody answered.

I will correct my bug description and add a link to 117314 in the
description, but only later since I have no time at the moment.

thank you for bringing me up to date :)
