I believe that's the beauty of options like CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND. If you |
| 11 |
leave the machine running crunching numbers (of whatever), with |
| 12 |
USB_SUSPEND the devices not used (say, the backup disk you transfer to |
| 13 |
the results of your crunching every weekend) can be suspended, saving |
| 14 |
a little bit of power. |

You don't leave the monitor turned on and disable the power off |
| 17 |
features of it, right? |

Really, I think many others have contributed enough reasons to make it |
| 20 |
obvious that there is no reason to not turn on this kind of options in |
| 21 |
the kernel. |
