Media-change notifications for SCSI devices has been on our wish-list
for almost as long as we have had a SCSI subsystem.

I for one, has never understood the why "SCSI-mafia" objected to it,
and I don't feel I have ever gotten a comprehensive rationale for
the objections.

Maybe this would be a good time for you to lay out the rationale
for the objections and let the project decide the issue on the
merits ?
