The only way to get it done properly is to ensure that we're compatible with Windows, and to get vendors to tell us when we're not. Offering them any mechanism that allows them to special-case Linux will just lead to them doing so and ignoring the problem, which will probably then trip up other systems that don't special-case Linux. Let's not go down this path. The fact that we're even having to have this conversation should indicate that it's not a good idea. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
