This is especially common in the "cheap" market. For example, for SCSI,
most of the violations tend to be USB storage - which is supposed to act
largely like SCSI, but in reality really doesn't. It locks up if you
try to access sectors that aren't there, etc.
Yes .. of course .. but please don't tap some words (without this kind
comment) which sounds like rules [1]. *Especialy if* talk is about *one*
specified piece of hardware. Moving discuss from one point to full
population many people takes as plain trolling. Luben looks like SAS
specialist and if you drive discuss outside SAS area this must be
confusing for him .. and not only for him. And also .. SAS controlers
this is not '"cheap" market'.
[1] look at comments at /. and osnews:

look how many people without proper knowledge level assumes: Linus is
authoritet -> Linus says "spec is close to useless" (without looking on
context) -> .. probaly spec is realy useless. Of course it is blind
repeatig but case like this may ruine many thing aroud Linux .. and
forgive me: you must be aware all this.
Thank You, sorry and regards
