Whiteboard
2009-02-09 pitti: initial spec drafted, Two TODO items remain which need testing on affected hardware. I'll migrate the suspend quirks to hal-info ASAP and drop the corresponding bits from acpi-support.
2009-02-09 pitti:
- gnome-power-manager obsolete postinst with gconf key mangling: dropped in 2.24.0-0ubuntu15
- committed suspend quirks to hal-info upstream, uploaded to jaunty
- committed to acpi-support bzr: dropping of suspend quirks and vbesave
2009-06-15 pitti: updated acpi event.d status; this should finally be approved for good, we are about 3/4 into implementation anyway
2012-09-12 tjaalton: While debugging bug 804109 I noticed that this blueprint is not finished, maybe revive it for R?
