I am on optimist, I have faith that it will go down :).

Keith - I wasn't able to verify if it actually kicks in, we are out of
powermeters here yet. But it haven't caused any breakage, so if someone with
power-related equipment could give it a try, it would be nice. In the very
worst case, you'll get some dmesg messages which can give some consolation
and maybe a placebo effect :).
