I think power management issues are important to take into account, it
is getting a lot of attention recently.

Is this option still marked as experimental?

Is there a strict policy on it or can sufficient testing be done to
allow it to be enabled by default?

Here is the bug that was filed to track the process, some assistance
needed on it:

Maybe something to look into for Hardy at least?
