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 ...
