That's true. ITU-T used to produce poor-quality ATM standards at a much 
higher rate than anybody could follow and the ATM-Forum at one point 
decided just to copy the ITU-T stuff :-(. Then I changed work and had 
almost zero involvment with ATM anymore...

I would guess that keeping ATM alive in 11-stable (and updating 
drivers if necessary) would be the best way to go.
