Please note that the purpose of this thread is not to discuss auto-suspend on by default (AC and battery). It's a big change, but might not be *that* controversial, at least compared to autosuspend on by default + inhibitor bug [1] described in my first post. I think that's the biggest issue here, which I wanted to make sure is known and discussed by people in power before Fedora 28 gets released. The combination of the new feature and that bug has potential to bring us a lot of bad press, I think.On Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 01:59:08PM -0400, Owen Taylor wrote:

We're going to get backlash if we don't communicate this well. I'm used
to making sure I'm plugged in if I have a long-running task to prevent
suspend. I don't think it's a big deal to adjust behavior* but we'll
definitely garner some annoyed and surprised users unhappy about
learing this the hard way if we're not careful.
