freebsd stable - Sep 2008 - Blacklisted ACPI Prevents Boot

I just installed a 6.4-PRERELEASE kernel and tried to boot.  The boot 
failed with a message that my ACPI was blacklisted.  I have had 'device 
acpi' in my kernel for some time now. The boot interruption is new behavior.

Is this sort of change a good thing to put in UPDATING?

Regards,
Jason
