Consequently, laptop mode should be removed. Especially for an end-user oriented distro like Ubuntu I consider it as rarther snobbish to throw responsibility for bad behaviour back to the user. Never ever Ubuntu should clearly over-exercise something. Except, perhaps, for explicit test cases. > I don't think that it means that simply enabling laptop-mode should > indicate that the user has given permission to the OS to trash his > hard drive.
