Then would you consider interceding with Toshiba on our behalf?  I 
appreciate that you want to take the moral high ground, but I don't think 
that we, the consumers of your code, are going to be very impressed being 
left as the meat in the sandwich.

For your stand to mean anything, you really need to follow it through.

I'd check the acpi-jp list archives to see what it was that instigated 
the patch in the first place; I have a feeling it was a Fujitsu system, 
but I could be mistaken.

Irregardless, Toshiba sell a *lot* of machines.  Something needs to be 
done about this. 8(
