default ide cd/dvd is pathological slow with i440fx - why not using sata/scsi as default ?

in proxmox 8.2.2 with linux vm , cd/dvd drive is still being added as ide type instead of sata or scsi.

booting ubuntu is 4 times slower with this (measuring time from bootloader selection dialogue until the first kernel messages appear)

i did open a ticket for this a while ago:
https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4805

we also have this thread:

why being that conservative ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA

"SATA has replaced parallel ATA in consumer desktop and laptop computers; SATA's market share in the desktop PC market was 99% in 2008"
