ospmd aside - it really should be an improvement over acpid when done - acpid
hasn't changed in months because there hasn't been any change to ACPI that would
require a change to acpid. It simply listens for ACPI events and runs user
defined scripts when they occur. If ACPI changes to trigger new events, acpid
doesn't need to change, but the user would need to define new rules.
