Bill V. asked about the persistence of settings determined by - or set
using - PowerTop.  Auke K. replied that it is not designed that way,
because the Linux distribution is supposed to "properly tune your system
for you".

Boy, I wish that were true more often. It appears that aggregated PowerTop
reports could help Linux distribution engineers identify some consistently
non-optimal settings, and guide repairs or install-time setup.  Have any
attempts been made - to your knowledge - to provide such feedback to the
distributions?  Through what methods?
