Most of the stuff moved to /sys/devices, the normal /proc/acpi/wakeup didn't really do anything.) This affected many users over many distros.
It also changed how lirc works, although that happened around 2.6.38??, so my htpc frontend is still on 2.6.32. When I tried updating that machine to 3.0, nothing worked and I spent about a day troubleshooting it before I put the image I took of it before I upgraded it back on. Dan
