My current understanding of how things should work in RELENG_5 is that 
ACPI-CA imports will be tested in 6-current for a minimum of 1 week. 
Patches will be posted to freebsd-acpi@ for about 5 days before an 
import to 6-current.  Changes, additions, etc. to acpi in general can be 
committed to 6-current immediately if not too drastic and MFCd after 2 
days to 1 week.  I intend for RELENG_5 to never diverge from 6-current 
unless required by external API changes.  If minimal, we'll ifdef around 
the interface changes with __FreeBSD_version__.

Hope that answers the question.
