Well the main issue is the various "quirks", but I'm convinced a good
chunk of those quirks are not needed these days anyway. They seem to be
a dumping group of things that have been done once to fix an issue with
given h/w on a given kernel/graphics driver, but other tools and
infrastructure has since moved on and they've not been
revisited/retested. I'm reaching out to other upstreams to see what
their take on things is.
I still have some issues with network mounts but that's the only thing I
have had a problem with recently (and the same was true with pm-utils
anyway I think!).
But I'll need to investigate a bit more.
Ideally everyone should do an rpm -e --nodeps pm-utils and just see how
their installs fair :)
Perhaps for the alpha3 I'll see if we can enforce this and get wider
testing :D
