Well, old cruft like the updatedb, prelink etc. cron jobs (sheesh) in
Fedora etc. relies on it. I'm not saying it's a good idea, just how the
reality is.

I'd like a single place users can change this. They will, because users
compile any random junk under the sun to get their hardware going and we
need to easily support that. In fact, we should have a /etc/pm.d
directory where users can drop in files that say

 PM_MODULE_UNLOAD_ON_SLEEP += some_kernel_module

and then packagers can include this in an RPM. Bad idea?
