Init scripts
The interesting init scripts for power management are those which are switch on by default. New services had been probably added after this review (February 2009). The simplest way how to check most of them was installed all packages which have init script in rawhide (future F-11) and then review them. Our attempt lead to new daemon which should started services on demand. But because of small number of services, which could be handled that way was [soud] refused. Services of appropriate devices should be catching events from upstart/udev/DeviceKit instead of new daemon.
Part of the review was going through comps, whether there exist some barely used services in @base or so on, but nothing had been found.
