It would also be interesting to know how the standardisation process
works.
I'm sure these is a FAQs, so maybe somebody could point us towards it.
Do we need to submit a proposed extension to the ACPI standard at the
same time as the patch? Should we not accept the code into Linux until
the proposal has been accepted? Or can we accept the code
provisionally, with the understanding that if the ACPI committee
rejects the extension, or suggest alternations, we can take the code
out of Linux without having to worry about backwards compatibility?
Thanks
Andrew
