Yes, this is the driver what nobody should use. Not even for reading. 

Most Linux vendor patch/pathed their 2.4 kernels for over a year with the
backport of the new driver included in 2.6 kernels.

Well, nobody really cares what's written there for years, that's the
obsolete driver. Over the last years, the only major improvement to this
driver was that Anton Altaparmakov (who wrote the new driver from scratch)
disabled writes support completely for W2K, XP, etc in that driver:
