    If it helps, I'm listening.

    Suggestions/proposals for new features etc, if they're a good idea, I
    can help push inside via our SATA/T13 reps. Note that as per all
    long-lived specs with multiple revisions, changing the behavior of an
    existing feature to something incompatible is virtually never
    feasable.

    Lo siento, I wasn't around when that occurred. Of course, that other
    bigger OS has a very large installed base, and selling a drive that
    breaks it is corporate suicide.
