redhat comment about intel not taking patches?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


RedHat is playing with enabling ACPI in their next release. (At least
in the beta for the next release: phoebe). 

Noticed this changelog comment in the phoebe kernel: 

* Thu Nov 07 2002 Arjan van de Ven [off-list ref]
- - remove ACPI again because Intel is unwilling to take patches

What patches are they talking about? 

Is there any way we could fix up the communication breakdown between
RedHat/Intel?

It would be great if ACPI would work out of the box on my laptop with
a RedHat kernel. At a minimum I guess it would require acpi to be able
to detect the compaq *PNP stuff and remove the * so the table works. 

Any comments/thoughts?
