I was under the impression that acer-wmi was useful on some Lenovo laptops, so
wholesale blacklisting Lenovo isn't the right answer.

But if the module is developed for Acer laptops and we don't have any
clue/example/report about how it helps Lenovo laptops, I think the logic should
be to not enable the module in Lenovo laptops as it disables Wireless on at
least 2 separate models. If someone reports that its Lenovo XX YY's special
functions works very well with acer-wmi than it should be whitelisted. Not
breaking normally working hardware is always better than trying to support some
hardware which are not even known to work correctly with the module.

Am I wrong?
