I can see it also effecting these new cloud computing servers which are
supposed to be able to conserve energy when required. I know they go
into suspend, but disk sleep is surely the first step in getting good
power management.

I know Tso is an awesome guy, his ext4 presentation at UDS Jaunty was a
highlight for me so if he says it's too hard to do, then we might just
have to suck it.

I'm an optimist, if these fine kernel folks have a problem thrust upon
them, they will likely solve it somehow. More resources required?
