 auto-cpufreq 2.0 is out: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Wondering if this is or only looks like one of those tools that shouldn't exist, as the #Linux #kernel ideally should better be enhanced do the right thing automatically.

FWIW, from the README: 

"""Why do I need auto-cpufreq? […] the CPU will run using "performance" governor with turbo boost enabled regardless if it's plugged in to power or not."""

Why is that a bad thing? Doing something quickly to then sleep quickly cat be the wisest move.
