+Yeah being discussed now. As this is now in-kernel as of 3.6, systemd
+will support this within a very short time frame.

+Not 100% sure but as mentioned in another thread I think many of the
+quirks are likely outdated. Certainly graphical quirks that used to be
+present on my hardware have not been needed for many years since KMS
+came along. So this is likely an opportunity to tidy it up and get rid
+of the kruft.
+
+But overall some of the quirks are likely still needed, so I've started
+a discussion upstream with a view to gathering feedback from how other
+distros are planning to handle this.
