And if there's a particular problem with thinkpad-acpi you're encountering
that is fixed by a later version, file a bug where you describe the problem,
point to the fix, etc, and someone might be willing to backport the fix to the
latest released kernel. I might even be willing to give it a go as a newly
minted member of the ThinkPad community... (just got a T61)
