What could possibly be gained by everybody keeping independent bug lists?
Nobody expects Andrew to do it, but Andrew seems opposed to the idea of _having_
a bug tracker - even if somebody else does it.  Consider that if I was keeping
my own "bug list" it would have exactly one bug - and it wouldn't be an ACPI
problem, it would be the lousy DSDT on this Dell Inspiron.  Everything that my
DSDT properly defines, ACPI handles well.
