OK.
Oops. The revert-revert patch was never actually dropped so long ago.
So we're still defaulting the ACPI brightness_switch_enabled parameter
off by default in Fedora.
If you still believe we should drop it, I can do so with the 4.2
kernels. Hopefully we've had enough time upstream to shake out any
issues. I'd like confirmation before I do that though.
