I have to use docking stations, therefore they are not irrelevant for
me. And I only encountered problems in use-cases involving docking
stations, but I never had any problem with my other Thinkpad and the
lid. Therefore I am all for making Fedora not suck by default when I use
a docking station. And even more I am interested in what is happening
with all the frameworks, e.g. u\* or whatever is acting on changes.
One interesting questions is, what do I have to do to get no change in
the screen setup if I move from one docking station to another.
