The most annoying thing (to me) was, Fedora maintainers did not make the setting default for new installs. Instead, they changed the setting for existing installs, like a F37 -> F38 system upgrade. It really annoyed me when a couple of my machines went to sleep and I had to drive across town to wake them and reconfigure them.
