Yes, but you need to know that you should run powerd in the first place.
Err, I would just always run it. You are now saying that laptops have to run
powerd to avoid full-speed CPUs on boot (even though the BIOS throttles it
down for you) but you can't run powerd on the server?
We don't enable powerd by default, as Robert said, maybe we should.
in the past I had machines that after enabling powerd brought the machine
down needing a full power cycle to restore. this had always been
machines in production unfornately where pople had forgotten to do so
during install and thus almost impossible to debug.
I am fine with having this on by default for "install" (whatever that
means) but changing that policy with a system update mergemastering
might not be a good idea.

Software is harder than hardware so better get it right the first time.
