This has never been the upstream position.

DT has been the default since day one, and changing this would be a
regression, as has been stated several times in the past.

If *the system vendor* intends that the system only uses ACPI, they
would not provide a DT.

If *you* prefer to use ACPI, feel free to alter your kernel command
line.

Thanks,
Mark.
