Re: acpi=force safe?

So if I have a /proc/acpi dir then it is safe?  What is the worst that
could happen if the acpi is broken in the board and I force it?  Just
courious, what if I forced it for a really old board that didn't have acpi
at all and thus technically couldn't work anyway (I wouldn't do that but I
do wonder)?  Would the acpi files in proc still exist or not?
