I think this is a great idea, but one of the big problems is probably
going to be dealing with hardware quirks. e.g. we can't even enable
powerd by default because e.g. acpi_throttle hangs on some systems. It
might be tricky to get power management to the stage where it works for
everyone and can be done automatically.

I'd expect that this will improve over time, just like all other
technologies from ISA to PCI bus implementations did.

But yes, it will take time & effort, but given the current
cleantech/greentech buzz, I think we'd better get moving.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
