The relationship between Redhat, et al, and developers is musch like
the relationship between a car dealer and the factory... The
"distributions" are packaging of the base Linux kernel and associated
software. While some distributors make changes or minor corrections to
the kernel and software, I don't think anyone will take over writing and
maintaining a while new IDE and SCSI implementation, particularly as
Alan has indicated that this is likely to change by 2.6.
The people maintaining IDE have their own ideas about what, if
anything, is going to change, and I think they are far better qualified
to make this decision than one or two people who's usage is far more
sophisticated than the typical user.
