No, this will not happen. You seem to think that the evil ACPI folks have broken lm-sensors and this makes the lm-sensors team and all Linux distributions sad and angry. This is the other way around: the lm-sensors team _asked_ the nice ACPI folks for the resource conflict check, under pressure by Linux distributions, the support teams of which were tired of receiving an increasing number of bugs about thermal management breakages caused by ACPI vs native drivers conflicts. So I am fairly certain that no distribution will make acpi_enforce_resources=no, nor even lax, the default. If anything, some distributions had set their default to strict even before the upstream kernel did. We aim at system stability and reliability first. If this means no hardware monitoring support on some systems, this is certainly sad and I wouldn't want such a machine for myself, but this is still the way to go. If this makes you unhappy because your system worked fine before, blame it on your mainboard vendor who shipped a broken BIOS which requests I/O regions it doesn't use.
