If something can be done for laptop heat and battery sucking less, I'm
all for it being included by default. I can't seriously use Fedora on
my Mac laptops because they get too hot, produce MCE errors, and have
terrible battery life (worse than Windows running with CSM-BIOS mode
boot, which itself is half the battery life of OS X on the same
hardware).
I recall that hibernation isn't supposed to be used by default anymore
but rather power off, but the other day in a low power situation,
gnome put my laptop into hibernation which of course isn't configured
correctly on Fedora so it doesn't work (with or without resume=) and
that risks data loss and corruption.
The problem with all of this is when model specific configuration
becomes necessary. If that's avoidable, then great.
No configuration necessary on either of my two laptops. Install package,
"systemctl enable thermald" restart, done.
