Steve was so kind reviewing and approving my proposal.
Doing that now is also helpful as it should make sure it still has quite some
exposure and thereby chances for people to report issues (vs if we'd land it
much later like after beta freeze).
Changes will:
- change the seeds in regard to irqbalance, but no change to irqbalance (the
package)
- need an update of ubuntu-meta
- IMHO we also want a release notes entry.
- CPC might consider re-enabling it as image customization for some as shown in
comment #39
I'm adjusting the bug tasks and state accordingly.

Issue/Bug Description:
as per konkor/cpufreq#48 and
http://konkor.github.io/cpufreq/faq/#irqbalance-detected
irqbalance is technically not needed on desktop systems (supposedly it
is mainly for servers), and may actually reduce performance and power
savings. It appears to provide benefits only to server environments
that have relatively-constant loading. If it is truly a server-
oriented package, then it shouldn't be installed by default on a
desktop/laptop system and shouldn't be included in desktop OS images.
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
This is potentially an issue with all default installs.
Expected behavior:
n/a
Other Notes:
I can safely remove it via "sudo apt purge irqbalance" without any
apparent adverse side-effects. If someone is running a situation where
they need it, then they always have the option of installing it from
the repositories.
