We do handle everything we need to. Making future updates move at the
same pace as standard ACPI enabing is the goal as well as not adding
any momentum to continue abusing _DSM when we should be creating named
methods for bus-level generic functionality. As a maintainer of this
subsystem I'm fine with the burden of continuing to touch the code as
the specification evolves and that stance matches standard Linux
practice.
