Not quite. gnome-power-manager *requires* 0.5.6, works better with
0.5.7, but if you provide 0.5.8 then lots of cool extra stuff starts
happening. New stuff includes cpu frequency scaling support and better
LCD integration.

I think the decision was to base 2.17 on 0.5.8[.x] as this is *vastly*
better than 0.5.7 but this is my own impression only.
