Repeat: #1 is power profiles

Also:

o	replacing devices in a multipurpose bay, which may take one
	of a number of devices, including a battery
o	port replicators with devices in them
o	Docking adaptors
o	Forced hibernate and/or shutdown, pending an empty battery
o	Software implementation of features (e.g. selective powerdown
	or operational level, based on idle time, user preferences,
	or other things not settable by "sysctl"
