My current understanding of how things should work in RELENG_5 is that ACPI-CA imports will be tested in 6-current for a minimum of 1 week. Patches will be posted to freebsd-acpi@ for about 5 days before an import to 6-current. Changes, additions, etc. to acpi in general can be committed to 6-current immediately if not too drastic and MFCd after 2 days to 1 week. I intend for RELENG_5 to never diverge from 6-current unless required by external API changes. If minimal, we'll ifdef around the interface changes with __FreeBSD_version__. Hope that answers the question. -- Nate
