They may not be primary today, but it's not going to be very long
at all before that situation changes. AFAIK, most of (if not all) the major
distros basing on 2.6.19+ are moving to using the libata PATA drivers in
their next releases.

All the more reason to get fixes in as quickly as possible, to ensure maximal amount of testing and exposure :)
