Not really. Anyone trying for commonly used words like that deserve to
get the carped pulled from under their foot. If people do object too much
to /etc/powermgmt/, pmud loses. You just need to conflict the base
power management structure with pmud << "someversion", and get pmud to move
its stuff somewhere else (maybe it just needs to have it in the proper place
in the new structure? that would be sweet) in "someversion".
But all this depends on people really wanting /etc/power for this. What
are the other distros using?
