That was exactly my thought too... a fully automated hardware
fan/temperature management systems is the way to go.
It would be nice to have a standard way to get readings tho even for
desktops/laptops, for your peace of mind :) lm_sensors is often useless,
as it either doesn't detect anything or the readings it gets is just
nonsense. Updating lm_sensors is not high on the priority list for Red Hat.
