We have 88 open bugs against ACPI (out of 216 total). They fall into two broad categories -- boot/configuration (eg. interrupt issues); and run-time features (eg. acpi events -- power-down, fan control etc). #1038 mentioned here has sort of grown out of control into "anything at all wrong with anybody's IBM T40", so I'm not sure it will ever be completely closed;-)
I agree with Andy Grover's comments in this file that fixing the bugs one by one in the current design is the highest priority; and I think that strategy is showing positive results.

Now that you're back, we should probably pull the current 2.6.0 ACPI patch into the mm tree, since 2.6 without it is now somewhat behind 2.4.23.
I understand that consolidated plain patches are preferred for the mm tree. I assume that the actual pull into the release tree can still be done using bk so that we can preserve the individual csets and their comments?

acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is preferred -- it includes the Intel alias above plus the rest of planet ACPI.
