The reason I'm not keen is that hardware vendors seem to continue believing that Linux claims to be Linux - it's almost understandable for Asus when they're shipping 2.6.remotely_exploitable on their hardware, but Lenovo are still doing it for no obvious reason. I'm worried that even doing a single release with this defined will result in Asus pulling the same trick at some point in the future. -- 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
