It's on the front page of acpcupsd's website (http://apcupsd.com/).

| Do Not Purchase The Following UPSes
|
| Recently APC has begun shipping UPSes that utilize a new communication
| protocol called "Microlink".  To date, APC has refused to release
| details of this protocol to the apcupsd team so that we can add
| support for it to apcupsd. CONSEQUENTLY, THE APCUPSD TEAM RECOMMENDS
| YOU *DO NOT* PURCHASE THE FOLLOWING APC UPS MODELS (this list may be
| incomplete; please send any additions to the apcupsd-users mailing
| list):
|
|   • SmartUPS SMX/SMT 750, 1000, 1500
|   • SmartUPS RT 3000XL, 5000XL

Incidentally, I heard the main nut dev works for Eaton.
