I've read a lot of comments that suggest crippling laptop-mode-tools
even more than it already is. The problem is that laptop-mode-tools is
the only place that DOESN'T HARDCODE VALUES. Why do I have to fight
hardcoded values in /etc/acpi/power.sh and /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d
/laptop-tools to make my custom values in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-
mode.conf work?

I think it's bad to hardcode values. They should be editable in one way
or the other, and editing system scripts (that could get "updated"
later) is not good. So the way I see it laptop-mode-tools is the way to
go. You should let it do what it can do. It already can handle apm power
management, spindown times, and /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode. Why hardcoding
this functionality in other scripts when you could just come up with the
same defaults in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf?

Please don't cripple laptop-mode-tools. Let it do its work instead.
