This was a really ham-handed "workaround".  The percentage of users with
SSDs has got to be under 1%, and to help them, you're going to risk the
rest of your users losing data b/c they thought their system was
monitoring their drive health and now it's not?  Seems pretty stupid to
me, but what do I know....  I only noticed this because I have a drive I
thought might be going on the fritz, and went into palimpset to look at
it, noticed no smart on ANY of my drives, and started digging.  At the
very least, the installation of the patch which disables SIGNIFICANT
data safeguards should have caused a few flashing lights and, say, a
dialogue which asks me if I actually have an SSD or am even thinking
about SSD.

palimpsest / gnome-disk-utility stopped working normally from recently - 
incorrectly says that "SMART is not available" !!
