Not yet. In fact, I'd like to see how useful this is - does it give us
any real
useful debugging help or not in the Oneiric cycle. If it proves really
valuable, Id like to upstream it. My concern is that newer (cheaper
problematic) laptops may not have LEDs in them to use, so this becomes a
redundant debugging tool.
