Udev-149 removes /dev/hd* rules, the question is if we should add it as compat rules, i don't know how stable the ata subsystem is on .27 lts series. Also we can think of removing the old ide subsystem from kernel .32 series and mkinitcpio. I think it can stay until it's removed from kernel anyway, any other opinions?
The libata framework is stable for 2.6.27, I'm using libata on 2.6.24 and 2.6.26 without problems, so 2.6.27 shouldn't be an issue. Problem is the drivers. Not all drivers are bug-free in the libata framework. With intel you won't notice any problems, but the sis driver is a bit suspicious.
