  "There are two kinds of interfaces: the simple ones, and the broken ones." If only more people kept that in mind. ;-)

  Linus spent a lot of energy and Management by Perkele to make sure stuff worked and kept stable under ACPI. People would submit patches that fixed some things and broke others, and Linus put a stop to this I'm not so sure about the ACPI standard, it certainly has some warts but the main issue seems to be manufacturers who ship the thing once their hardware manages to boot Windows. Once. And note I said boot, not run.
