Yeah being discussed now. As this is now in-kernel as of 3.6, systemd
will support this within a very short time frame.

Not 100% sure but as mentioned in another thread I think many of the
quirks are likely outdated. Certainly graphical quirks that used to be
present on my hardware have not been needed for many years since KMS
came along. So this is likely an opportunity to tidy it up and get rid
of the kruft.

But overall some of the quirks are likely still needed, so I've started
a discussion upstream with a view to gathering feedback from how other
distros are planning to handle this.
