Increasingly, it seems that it will not be possible to use modern hardware
without ACPI. So, in a sense, the point will be moot. Certainly it is
only a good thing that Linux has a high-quality ACPI implementation in the
works, so that users will have the option to use it. I expect that most
will happily run it and look no further.
But that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people do not like the ACPI standard. There is some selling yet to be done if that dislike is to be overcome. Well, let's hope that when x86-64 comes out, it will go with saner chipsets. Pity that it hadn't happened years ago - world without Itanic would certainly be a nicer place... Can you describe pitfalls to avoid, and mail that to discuss@x86-64.org? AMD *is* listening.
