Hey guys,
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is still there. Missed it or did you want it
to reside?
Regards,
Marc

There was a patch to remove it,
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/654021/
Don't know why it is not merged.

I just disabled the 3 'deprecated' within ACPI and ACPI userspace is not working
any longer. I'm using Gentoo so I doubt my userspace is too old. acpid doesn't
somehow listen to events when CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT is not set:
"Say Y here to retain the old behaviour. Say N if your
user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007)."

There's still plenty of userspace using it. There probably ought to at
least be a period where using it generates a deprecation warning.
