of us Thinkpad users:

Actually TLP is included in Fedora already. Unfortunately it requires
two (at least) out of tree kernel modules to really make it
functional, so the work is resolving why those aren't upstream and
what it would take to get them upstream. These enable setting battery
thresholds, which can really prolong the life of laptop batteries.
For tp-smapi, I have a user program that can do it with no module. Arguably a good module would be better.
acpi_call was nakked upstream and has approximately zero chance of making it in. The right fix is to write a real driver.
IMO the best way to handle this would be to teach the Linux battery sysfs code to allow subdrivers to register to provide advanced functionality. Unfortunately, I don't use a Thinkpad anymore.
I should also note that the link above has a Fedora repo, but it's
been uninstallable for me for a little while.
And yes, I know I should be doing the work ...
Rich.
