Actually, it *does* sound like this package might provide a way to
mitigate that situation (single kernel). If tlp can accept a
configuration file for what tweaks to make, then we can use the per
-product config feature to allow us to set certain features differently
on Workstation compared to Server/Cloud or non-product. (This would
still probably mean shipping things like the USB autosuspend disabled,
due to the other effects it can have).

Also, it's possible in the Fedora package to ship this tool without the
GUI (or at least, separate the GUI into a subpackage which isn't
installed by default, similar to how we do things with Epiphany). If we
don't *expose* these as options, but instead use the package to tweak
our defaults, would that provide some benefit here?
