Phasing out APM idle at least would be reasonable. resumably even if the old
laptops still work they are likely on AC because their batteries have
long died. So using a bit more power in idle shouldn't be a big
issue.
Not sure about suspend, screen saver etc. I suppose those could
be kept as frozen legacy features. At least until someone else
wants to redesign those parts too.
