I'm getting delayed whiplash from your time-warp comment at the start
of the thread.

I'll admit that the idea of a working SIGPWR in Linux* is growing on
me. But I think we all realize that userland development is a lot
faster than kernel-space development (as far as time to develop, and
time until it shows up in a distribution, anyway), and NUT is
something that people can use now.

* on commodity x86 PC hardware, yadda yadda.

For anyone else who has read this far, can I shamelessly divert your
attention to an earlier thread about a new release of NUT? (So that
after it is released, we can start to Balkanize the NUT architecture,
or whatever it is that we're currently trying to form a consensus
on...)
