Sorry Jon but statements like this make me wonder whether we should
simply let the whole ARM ACPI be an out of tree distro business. We
spend a long time discussing OS-agnostic firmware implementation,
planning mini-summits, just to get certain Linux distro representative
stating that the kernel-firmware interface we discuss here only matters
for those planning to follow upstream. Certain Linux distros will play
by other rules.

Oh, don't take it that way - I just mean that if someone needs a
different ACPI always on, they can do that separately. I support your
position on upstream at this time! :)

Jon.
