perhaps i completely misunderstood what i was looking at but when i submitted a patch to remove "legacy power management," i wasn't referring to APM. i was talking about the PM stuff even *older* than that, that's listed as "Legacy Power Management API (DEPRECATED)" under the PM config menu.
so, politics and scheduling aside, was that earlier patch a reasonable and correct way to do *that*?
