I am not opposed to that, but just thought I'd throw in that with ATA, we at 
least tried to fix all known issues before flipping the switch. If memory 
doesn't fail me, that is... I haven't updated my T60 in a while, but ACPI 
worked reliably there. On my desktop, I have the problem that shutting down 
works half of the time, the other half I have to press the power button a 
long time until I force shutdown the BIOS.
