I think that ubuntudemons point was that Windows and Mac both appear  
to override these settings. So this snafu is making Ubuntu look bad  
because our philosophy is to let the drive manufacturers make these  
decisions.

It's a rock and a hard place call because if Ubuntu does monkey with  
the settings they could be _directly_ responsible for screwing up your  
hardware.
