I pushed for this since on ACPI machines, "platform" is the right thing to do, and i still think it will only break on machines that have a broken ACPI BIOS. (Are there machines with broken ACPI BIOS around? ;-) Your additional "fall back to shutdown if !(ops)"-fix looks very sane, however, and is definitely a good idea. -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
