I had to recompile my kernel to flash my scsi drive firmware. It works
in the generic kernel but not in 2.6.5-Fedora. That alone says its not
an acceptable change for a "stable" kernel tree - which hopefully 2.6.x
will become in the next six months.
(If you want to argue about 2.7.x then its somewhat different - if scsi
devices appear in sysfs and the sysfs nodes also support SG_IO then the
entire notion of /dev/sg could go away in 2.7)
