that's a very good question.  i just did a quick survey of the
power management pages on the wiki, and while i found quite a lot
of outdated information, there's little to nothing on current
policy or power infrastructure.  this is clearly a big omission.

i will work on reorganizing the existing pages somewhat, and create
some content that describes the current power management situation
in 10.1.2.
