> Len suggested the default be hwmon support enabled I think you were right and I was wrong on that part, lets default =n. What is new here is thermal I/F to hwmon. Distros what want it will know they need libsensors 2.10.7 or libsensors 3.x before they turn it on. libsensors <= 2.10.6 users who upgrade their kernel to 2.6.26 without distro support will get no bad surprises. The down-side is simply that we are being less aggressive about exposing these temperature readings via hwmon. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that. -Len
