My 2 cents
For almost 3 years now, I have tried to use different Linux-based distros day-to-day on my laptop. But there always have been some points to stop me, almost all due to power management things :
-First, some problems with CPU speed I couldn't slow down (resolved with recent kernel advancements);
-Second, GPU power management (partially resolved, for GPU but not memory);
-Third, and most important : suspend is working, but resume has always resulted in black screen, and I must reboot to get screen back to work. So I never suspend, and make sure this never happens.
Before taking decision to force some behaviour, and make users lose time and data, they should look at the state of the other projects. And see the problem with suspend-and-resume on laptops.
