Could you please stop parrotting this again and again, at least as long as you
are unable to point to any duplicated code?

How is it related to the discussion about interfaces?

So far, whenever you were asked to support your assertions (dynamic device
naming violating POSIX, duplicated code, your warning which is printed when
not using ide-scsi while the bugs you were speaking about occur only _with_
ide-scsi and so on), you have ignored the request and started either repeating
the same or diverting the attention to completely unrelated problems (like
above).

Unless you wish to stop spreading your demagogy and write facts instead,
I recommend you to shut up and this is my last mail in this discussion.

				Have a nice fortnight
