That is the real challenge here. It isn't obvious to most users that |
| 10 |
upower is causing the problem, and it is even less obvious to users |
| 11 |
without using Google that there is an alternative. |

Anybody who doesn't read the lists or GMN wouldn't probably wouldn't |
| 14 |
realize that the simple fix exists. |

Maybe if portage were smart enough to present the user with two |
| 17 |
options - replace udev with systemd or replace upower with |
| 18 |
upower-pm-utils then users would realize the latter change is the |
| 19 |
better one. |

I don't want to put out a news item for everything, but when the |
| 22 |
output of portage is subtle and the package is so widely used it is |
| 23 |
probably better to have one. |
