      set default preference
  
      In case there is missing element for preference, set ENERGY_CONSERVE
      as default.
  
  This fixes are not critical, but I think are proven stable enough for a
- SRU and fix some minor buglets that should be plugged.
+ SRU and it plugs a *potential* issue that we've not yet seen to occur.
+ 
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ Minimal, this ensures a default setting is correctly set to the default value 
 when config is provided without a default preference.  Since this is not the 
normal modus operandi of thermald since it uses zero config mode, this fix 
plugs a corner case that not used by default.  Users of the xml config will be 
entering this default appropriately, so this catches the corner cases where it 
is not defined in a user config.
+ 
+ [TEST]
+ This is not testable in the default zero config case. In cases where the 
config does not have this default setting, it is hard to test as this is sets 
internal state that is not easily checked during run time.  As this bug has not 
been observed in the field, it is hard to find a reproducer to test this corner 
case.
