The R/W interface is needed for backward compat, so we don't really have a choice (well, it could go in for long term deprecation, but I found in SCSI that "long term" == "never"). I think no-one objects to the ioctl interface ... it's just no-one feels strongly enough to build and test it. I'm sure if you send patches, Jarkko will include them.
