So just after Miki hand-tooled a new geometry for Tom Cavan, Lou showed
up with yet another drive that is not recognized.
It looks like Sun is starting to release new geometries too quickly.
I recommend we consider developing our long-ago-discussed automatic
geometry heuristic code so that we don't have to have multi-day
disruptions while people clue in that we need to hand-tool yet another
geometry.
