Even a wall-powered system that's always running can shutdown unused USB devices when they're not needed, saving power at the incremental level, anyway. However, that is a rather newer feature, and may cause issues with USB wakeup on obscure or older (say USB-1.x generation) hardware, thus the kernel help recommendation for that option. That said, presumably udisks would choose not to make its check fatal, altho changing the default to fatal could complicate things for existing ebuilds until they're fixed. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
