I agree, this needs more information.
On one machine I have ~15 bad tunables, but I don't dare to switch on most of
them, because I have no idea about the (negative) consequences, what I could
break (or if the changes are harmless), if they revert on boot, what kind of
power savings they bring
I agree with the "undo" ability, though I believe most tweaks are not
permanent and revert on reboot. Also, I think it would be nice if we had
a Power Initive where us as a community puts forward a bit of effort and
logs into improving power management. This would be good for open source
as a whole
Although perhaps beyond the scope of the utility, it may also be useful
to have a history of actions taken, and also the option to "undo" a
given tweak. This would require backing-up the previous value as well.
