  1. udisks1 will soon be dropped from debian and ubuntu, and probably from
    other major distros as well. it's replaced by udisks2.
  2. the only udisks1 feature that was used in m-p-m was the disk spindown.
    its usefullness is questionable, especially when you have an SSD.
  3. udisks2 doesn't seem to have neither API nor command-line tools for the
    spindown feature.
  4. spindown support has been dropped in gnome-power-manager in 2011,
    https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=d97a988246d34f4cd38b7ee1335c9b500c7c522f
  5. it also has been dropped in xfce-power-manager in 2014,
    http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/log/?qt=grep&q=disk+spin+down

oh, and this also closes #109.
