The file itself was removed, but from what I understand the same functionality can now be obtained from sleep_level_override. Users who previously used power_level can thus now use sleep_level_override, but with sleep_level_override not existing in 2.6.31 they will have no alternative if we remove power_level. > So it > may be fair to remove it for .31 since there you can't use it anyway. You can still use it to manually set power index used by device to reduce power usage.
