I agreed w/ what we've been discussing about and reworked then found this.
I just wonder whether we could think about it from a different perspective.
Now we have the directory-by-directory "exceptions" maintained in the release scripts:
 common/compiler/debugger/disassembler/interpreter/os_specific/tools.
I just wonder do we need to maintain the file-by-file "exceptions" for the release process.
It will be convenient if there's no such exceptions, then ACPICA can freely manage the files under the "white listed" directories.
