Hi,
I'm going to be retiring pm-utils from Fedora soon; it's completely
dead upstream and it not needed anymore by upower or anything else.
Nothing other than libvirt-clients depends on it, so when I tried to
remove this from rawhide I noticed this commit:

update to libvirt-0.9.8
added:
+# Needed for probing the power management features of the host.
+Requires: pm-utils
Is this true? You really don't want to be parsing pm-is-supported, it
often doesn't work and isn't used by anything else any more. Would it
be possible to port away from pm-is-supported if you're actually using
it, and drop the dep for F20 please? Any questions please CC me as I'm
not subscribed.
What is the replacement ? We need to be able to query whether
each of suspend, hibernate, or suspend-hybrid are supported on
a host, and then report that upto the mgmt app using libvirt.
