Please don't use completely arbitrary abbreviations. /etc/power/ would
be quite adequete anyway.
Trust me, I would have picked that if I had the chance. But that
directory is already in use by pmud. Somebody should have stopped that
package when it started to use that directory. Now it's too late. :(
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".
