I'd claim that #6532 is not a *blocker*, it is just a desired feature. I think that we should ship low-power mode in 8.2 even if that means we grey out the option to turn it on when an sd card is mounted. #6010 I'm a little more ambivalent on; I'd need more opinions on whether wakeup is unreliable "enough" to make an explicit low-power mode unworkable. If it means that sometimes it takes two power button presses to wake up, that's probably not a blocker. If it is so hard to wake up that people regularly think the machine is hung and hard-power-off instead, that's probably a blocker. I'm not saying these bugs aren't important, I'm just trying to clarify our "WE DON'T SHIP 8.2 UNTIL..." list. I'd like to say that low-power mode is a must-have for 8.2. I think "we don't ship 8.2 until low-power mode doesn't eat SD cards" is on the "don't ship" list, but the way we get there might be by disabling low-power mode in some situations -- it depends on how hard the SD corruption bug is to fix. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
