Quotes of the week

This has been an especially interesting year in the field. We've landed the infrastructure for generic runtime power management, glued that into PCI and started implementing that at the driver level. pm_qos is being reworked to improve performance and scalability as we start seeing more drivers that need to express their own constraints. And, of course, we had the wakelock/suspend blockers conversation that didn't end in a terribly satisfactory manner, although Rafael is now working on an implementation that presents equivalent functionality with a different userspace API.
