This has *nothing* to do with the ecosystem. This has to do with
existing users of ArmVirtQemu (admittedly, a small fraction) that will
be forced to compile their UEFI images from source because we made a
backwards incompatible change.
I am 100% on board with making ACPI and DT mutually exclusive. But I
don't believe for a second that 'everybody just exposes ACPI and DT at
the same time' if this gets merged. That happens because people are
clueless, not because they are deliberately spending time and effort
on producing two hardware descriptions.
