Maybe we have different expectations? On my laptop, a Thinkpad T14s, things 
seem not too bad:

     % printf '%s\n' /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/temp*_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp3_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp1_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp2_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp3_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp4_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp5_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp6_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp7_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/temp8_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon6/temp1_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon8/temp1_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon8/temp2_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon8/temp3_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon8/temp4_input
     /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon8/temp5_input

There are working temperature sensors out of the box for the CPU, wifi card, 
ACPI thermal zone, and extended sensors from thinkpad_acpi.

In my case, I'd like to get notifications in userspace when certain 
temperatures are reached.

So if I understood correctly, there's no way to dynamically configure 
temperature thresholds and get breach events even as root, even with the new 
netlink solution?

Thanks again for your help!
