The power management side of Bumblebee will be untouched - my email explicitly covers only the file side of things. I've seen far too many reports of people using primus, on top of GLVND enabled nvidia/mesa causing all sorts of problems. Since tracking individual reports does not scale - I've put this proposal. Note: having a compat primusrun/optirun/pvkrun makes sense - setting the respective environment variables is annoying. -Emil
