Comment 22 for bug 139089

As of decision making in Ubuntu development, I think there is plenty of room for improvement.
This is one of the topics where SuSE is better and probably one reason for why SuSE's market share has grown again, despite Ubuntu's popularity.

If gutsy really is published with thinkpad_acpi <0.15, I am gonna put kernel packages for i386+amd64 in my own archive http://deb.ibcl.at/ or in a PPA.

However, according to the changelog of today's update of the acpi-support package, someone at Ubuntu is currently working on thinkpad stuff, and as the thinkpad_acpi 0.16 patch integrates in linux-source-2.6.22 without the sligthest problems there still is hope it's gonna make it into gutsy.
