Is commenting out HPFS from the black-list file really such a big annoyance for you? Especially since running OS/2 as multi-boot is a really rare use-case today.
I'm not speaking only for myself. If it was only one or two PCs, or people who even know what blacklisting is, it might not be a lot of trouble, but I don't see that as the case.
Personally I'd prefer to protect the majority of users by blacklisting unmaintained kernel drivers.
I'd guess the majority of non-corporate continuing OS/2 users are also Linux multibooters, so it's not so rare. OS/2 and its successor incarnations offer things no other OS or DE has attempted. It's a significant userbase, both corporate and non-corporate. If it wasn't, eComStation wouldn't have existed, and https://www.arcanoae.com/ wouldn't exist today. I can't do with Linux what I am doing almost constantly with OS/2. I have to have both, and interop between them is already plenty bad compared with Linux to Windows and Mac. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
