Comment 67 for bug 117314

Martin:
Since it looks like we are headed for another change I think the word has to be put out to those who have gone and relabelled their /etc/fstab with the /dev/h??? syntax that we are now going back the other way. The folks over in bugs like Bug #94119 need to be warned that their CD drives are going to go back to being broken. Perhaps people need to be told what grub /module options can be added to diable ata_piix. People need to be warned not to upgrade to -16. People need to prepare for another round people having binary driver breakage (both due to manual compiles but there also seems to be some percentage of people who this happens to who use lrm - perhaps there's a depmod race...) . Perhaps some public statement can be put out explaining what has happened and who it has happened to. Does the update go out as -security given that it's not fixing a security problem any more? What does -security mean?

Also what happens to the current renaming bugs? Are they just closed? Do we just open a new bug if/when another "great renaming" happens? Is it worth trying to fix the PATA bugs being masked on SATA machines? Do we just close those bugs too?
