That's more or less what they already did, they forced eg. xfce4-power-manager upstream to move the deleted pm-utils code from upower directly to the power manager (application) itself, likewise for xfce4-session Which means applications will now need to duplicate the pm-utils related code per application basis So I expect upower to be more or less dead for everything but systemd users, except for those upstreams that will actually follow the Xfce path and do the duplication Yet, still, small portition of the code is still 'generic', so xfce4-power-manager will still need both, upower, even 0.99, and then pm-utils, depending on the version, codepath is selected This was sort of expected, since pm-utils has been abandoned for ~5 years now at upstream, so nobody is maintaining non-systemd related power management tools anymore, and falling back to eg. manual laptop-mode-tools, acpid, etc. usage will be necessary again, it's like going back to 90s for non-systemd users :P - Samuli
