RE scshihosts=driver1,driver2,driver3...

Are we really sure we want to remove this?
There non-disk devices, say,  CDROMs and tapes, which
can't be handled by fs label and
I had a feeling that the userland tools that looks
at the physical connecivity might not be
so well standardized (or made available on every major distribution.).

Am I wrong about the latter (userland tools)?

I am afraid
that I will have to tweak a few system administration scripts 
if this feature is gone.
(I don't know why this works on a PC I manage well.)
