01.org has several projects related to power management, but most aren't in Fedora repositories. Are any of these useful for the recent effort to make power management better on Fedora?
If you're packaging things, it'd be nice to have TLP in Fedora for all of us Thinkpad users:

Actually TLP is included in Fedora already. Unfortunately it requires two (at least) out of tree kernel modules to really make it functional, so the work is resolving why those aren't upstream and what it would take to get them upstream. These enable setting battery thresholds, which can really prolong the life of laptop batteries.
I should also note that the link above has a Fedora repo, but it's been uninstallable for me for a little while.
And yes, I know I should be doing the work ...
