That's entirely possible, but there is no single config that will work for more than a few similar models. Note that you can still use your /etc/thinkfan.conf (in the "old" schema) just fine if that one still works for you. Long-term I'd love to collect a few thinkfan.yaml to ship as examples for specific (thinkpad) models. I'd also like to point out that the RC bug was about upgrading failing, which was because a non-working /etc/thinkfan.yaml was placed there, taking precedence over the thinkfan.conf, which has now been fixed. thinkfan being difficult to configure is definitely a valid issue, but I'd like to continue that discussion in a new wishlist bug.
