Personally I'm all for simplicity so I don't want to push any agenda for ACPI in VMs.
Note that the spec does not mandate the use of ACPI, it just tells you how to do it if you wish to.
But, we can change the spec to require full FDT description of the system, unless of course some of the ACPI-in-VM supporters manage to convince the rest.
I guess the real question is whether we are interested in running Windows RT in VM guests. I don't personally expect MS to come out with a port for this spec, no matter what we do, but some of you may have information I don't.
