Sorry if i sound harsh on this bug, but i receive such reports every few months
(i just didn't want to dig out the old numbers to duplicate this one) and this
all has been discussed a thousand times. It is very unlikely that i will change
my mind on this one.
Making this safe would require too much work, advanced users can set it in
/etc/powersave/common.
