I'm pretty sure his use of arbitrary was meant to apply to the decision to terminate direct kernel support for previously supported devices.
But that decision was made upstreams and we try to be as close as possible to the mainstream kernel in order to minimize the maintenance effort.
libata, that support must now come from userland in the form of dm/kpartx, but it seems that doesn't yet work for any but a select few developers, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397816 being one manifestation of failure by mere mortal users.
Lets begin by stating that developers are mere mortals too :) And I didn't know it still doesn't work :( If that is so, there currently is no solution and that is indeed a bad thing. So Users with such disks have to stay with older distributions, which I'd have to agree isn't really satisfying.
