I just noticed this, which I don't remember discussing but may have
forgotten:
> We deployed the power saving code. No complaints so far.
My initial anecdotal experience is poor; on Tuesday, I sat down in front
of a machine in 1-115 which turned out to need some help. I've also
heard verbal complaints from people who would once have noticed and
potentially fixed borked cluster machines but now can't.
I'm currently unconvinced of the value of this change. Is the energy
savings worth the extra time hotline is going to need to spend on
maintenance? (I realize it's also a done deal and unlikely to be
readdressed. But if you're soliciting complaints, well, here you go.)
