I was under the impression that the Intel ACPI folks had things in mind for acpitable.c along the lines of 'rm', in favour of having their new interpretor do a "Load, setup, get the hell out" approach for those that didn't want it staying around.
Either way, I agree improving our ACPI support is a better solution in the long run.
