osst & ide-2.2.19 conflict?

In the ide.2.2.19.05042001 patch, there is the following bit of code
in ide-scsi.c, which prevents the ide-scsi driver from allowing access
to an OnStream DI-30 tape drive.  This is strange, since this same
drive can be used with the included ide-scsi + osst drivers in the
stock 2.2.19 kernel.  If you delete this bit, however, ide-scsi
recognizes the drive, and the osst driver seems to work fine.

Here's the offending code:

  #ifndef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE
   /*
    * The Onstream DI-30 does not handle clean emulation, yet.
    */
   if (strstr(drive->id->model, "OnStream DI-30")) {
           printk("ide-tape: ide-scsi emulation is not supported for %s.\n", drive->id->model);
           continue;
   }
  #endif /* CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE */

Any reason for this to stay in the ide patch, or is it now obsolete?
