Generally I agree with you. It is hard to strike a balance between saving power
and stability. But we try hard to do so.
Have you read further in the changelog:
...
  * debian/rules: Remove harddrive power hook, this causes excessive hard disk
    spindown on a lot of machines. The hdparm package already ships
...
  * Add 14-disable-sata-alpm.patch: Disable SATA link power management by
    default, as it still causes disk errors and corruptions on many hardware.
    (LP: #539467)

So, we already disabled those hooks where we know it can cause problems.
Regarding laptop-mode: Does it cause any problems / does it have negative side
effects on SSD?
