The most important aspect (to me) of the discussion in -devel is to make
the _event_ "switching from AC to battery" go away, and change it into a
runlevel-like thing ("battery mode" versus "AC mode"). In addition, the
discussion was about unifying the most common events that come out of
ACPI, APM, PMU, and other power management/laptop hardware facilities,
into a common event layer -- so that a laptop policy package can
abstract away from hardware-specific daemons associated with
ACPI/APM/PMU.
