    I'd say that "if it aint broke, don't fix it."

    I think atacontrol scared me a bit because it is the "ATA device driver
    program" and this inbreeding between "managing hard disks" and "managing
    RAIDs" bothered me, and gmirror wsa new and shiny and
    not-so-well-documented, so I figured I'd make that work.

    It seems like there are a bunch of competing interfeces to the new geom
    stuff and eventually a few of them will turn out to be the popular ones,
    and the others will become this funky weird appendices like systat. And
    we'll look back on our respective decisions nostalgically.
