Looks like you are not a native English speaker. "We" is incorrect
here, as you only speak for yourself.
I agree completely with his statements, therefore he speaks for at
least two people and "we" is proper usage. I suspect given the posts
on this list the last time this flamewar came up that there are more

- Only 5 of them allow a /dev/hd* device name related access.
No, you have this wrong:
- One of them (IE: Linux) requires a /dev/[hs]d* device-name related
access
- Only 4 others allow /dev/hd*
However, the later is _completely_ _irrelevant_ to the discussion, as
we are talking about Linux *only*.
[irrelevant discussion of other platforms]
17 Platforms _need_ the addressing scheme libscg offers
5 Platforms _may_ use a different access method too.
Wrong again:
17 platforms need libscg's addressing
4 platforms offer /dev/* access
1 platform (Linux) _requires_ /dev/* access
You are perfectly free to adjust your compatibility layer accordingly.
BTW: the wording of your posting [...]
Personal attacks are offtopic, irrelevant, and rude. Please refrain
from doing so. If you don't plan to respond to somebody's email,
just don't, no reason to shout about it to a world who doesn't care.
Cheers,
