::Thanks yokoyama-san.  We're going to decide if no objections until
::comming Tuesday 0:00 JST.

It's OK with me, too

::I have one suggestion.  Shall we move old sys/dev/acpi/aml/* to
::usr.sbin/acpi/amldb/aml/ before removing old code ?
::I've tried little bit ACPICA-based userland debugger and I noticed
::that it different from our amldb about its usage.  I think that our
::amldb is still usefull even after ACPICA migration because of I/O
::emulation and developers are able to track the target AML on different
::machine.  On the other hand, it seems that ACPICA debugger was
::designed for running on the actual target machine.
::I think it would be worth to have two AML debuggers and interpreter

::Comments?

Keeping our own developed code is a good thing, may be.
But how are we going to maintain it? And, how long?

We must have some loose ends with the code that have to
be delt with, if we are going to keep it useful. With
the man power we have now, I don't think it's too good
a idea to keep two both of them alive for too long.

I would suggest for a month or two may be, but not longer.
