Why is ide-scsi not provided in Arjan's 2.6 kernel?

Unlike previous versions (last I tried that had it was kernel-2.6.0-0.test8.1.66.i686.rpm)
kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test9.1.76.i686.rpm does not have the ied-scsi module.

It's config has: 
configs/kernel-2.6.0-test9-i686.config:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set

This is really annoying, and actually leaves all owners of IDE OnStream tape drives
(where osst needs ide-scsi) in the cold! They will have to recompile every time :-(

Can this decision _please_ be revoked?

Thanks, Willem Riede.
