I wonder why I had some users of those two boxes advocating APM, maybe
it used to work better or something.  Or I got the T21 and A30 confused
with the T23.

Well, I don't think we need to support the thre-digit series ThinkPads,
the number of those still working is probably on the four digits
world-wide.  And I haven't heard from anyone with a T21 or A31 in a
while, so they might be down to five digits already.

If the T23 can actually work well in ACPI mode, I retract my objection.

Depends on what you use them for, I suppose.
