Because Mike Smith opposed to.

Another problem is how should we import it.
In short, "Should we have two copies of ACPICA in
a src tree."
Now we break ACPICA source into flat structure when importing it.
Importing ACPICA can be done in following 4 way.

1.Break all of the source into the same directory,
 including compiler stuff, and usr.sbin/acpi directory contains only
 frontend stuff.

2. Import most of ACPICA source into sys/contrib, as we now do 
and import compiler stuff into contrib/acpica

3. Import all the source in original form at sys/contrib/acpica

4. Import all the source in  original form contrib/acpica 
and  breaked version in /sys/contrib/acpica.
