I guess it can be enabled after LOTS of testing of various drives out
there, which shows that no current drives have issues with FUA anymore,
and after building a black-list of devices which misbehave.  It is quite
a big project, I think.  But what it gives us in return?

(I've no idea if this is the right answer, speaking of myself only)
