Comment 17 for bug 157909

I would beg to differ with the statement that this does not meet the SRU criteria. In particular, this seems to be a "Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu". Previous versions supported these configurations, while with gutsy the follow is the case:

* the configurations impacted are common (how many SATA ports come on modern motherboards? 6? 8?)
* the impact of fixing the situation is minimal (very slight increase in the size of a small table)
* the systems impacted are ones specifically being targeted by Ubuntu (desktops and small to mid-sized servers).

In effect, gutsy has taken something that "just worked" and "just broke" it.

Do we even know why the setting was changed?
