We have priors when it comes to specific profiles behaving slightly differently depending on external factors, for example the performance profile on some Intel Lenovo laptops being throttled down when a lap is detected, or our attempt at using the "balance_power" intel pstate preference when on battery (later reverted because this preference is incredibly aggressive...). I think that keeping the external API would be best for user-space, we'd just want to have a way to know how it's behaving internally, eg. exposing that it has separate profiles for AC and battery, and whether an AC or battery variant is selected at this time. Cheers
