Actually, looking at it again, I'm wavering.

That BFA driver isn't a "driver". It's a huge subsystem of it's own. It's 
almost 50 _thousand_ lines of code for just a single "driver", and for 
rare hardware at that.

Quite frankly, the "bang per line" is almost zero. 

What the ^&@* is wrong with "enterprise SCSI" people? The amount of crazy 
is overwhelming.

So I've pulled it, but I'm still considering just unpulling it. That 
driver is _not_ "just a driver".  It's something more. Something dank and 
smelly, that has grown in dark and forbidding places.

The whole crazy "high end SCSI" industry needs a f*cking exorcism.

Even if I don't unpull, I don't _ever_ want to see a driver like this 
outside the merge window. And dammit, James, you should have realized 
that.
