In regards to libata and SCSI, I actually think that is a good thing. 
Some SATA drives, particularly the Western Digital Raptor series are 
SCSI drives, with a different interface on them, as they are 10000rpm 
drives, which was previously only found in SCSI drives. We may even see 
SATA 15000rpm drives some time in the future.

Thats what I think might happen anyway.
