Good, but thermald is absolutely useless without configs. Configs can be
extracted from DPTF ACPI tables only with *proprietary* dptfextract utility.
Also Fedora cannot ship extracted by dptfextract configs due to their
legal status.
Something that needs to be cleared up here: thermald has existed for the better part of a decade and long before dptfxtract existed. dptfxtract exists to handle certain platforms that use DPTF Active. thermald supports many, many more platforms than that without the need for any closed-source tools. Additionally, with code that is queued in a thermald branch, we may not need dptfxtract for any use cases soon.
