- Just an observation;
- nearly all who responded to Ian query saying they still use chg-scsi

        mtx isn't part of the base system, at least with NetBSD
and FreeBSD.

        NetBSD and FreeBSD do have very functional changer management
command line tools and system call interfaces, and both the
command line and system call interfaces are very stable.

        Of course, the main reason I use it is that I did some
of the original work for what became chg-scsi. (of course, it's
diverged greatly from what I wrote, but..)
