Yes, you understood it right. For now it's only the option to manually set =
fan
speed.

That's not impossible, and there's an API called Overdrive6 that's both
accessible to Windows and Linux (only closed source driver though). Mmiotra=
cing
those calls (yeah, actually that thing you mentioned - setting
temperature<-->speed pairs) can lead to implementing this behaviour in
open-sorce driver. Alex said he can provide some patches for me to start wi=
th,
let's see if it will cover these demands.
