I think the design should be made from the usability point of view
instead of making it from code avoidance point of view.
If there isn't significant enough a use case for letting the computer
go to sleep during a backup, the user shouldn't have to take any
action to inhibit sleep during backup. Also, even if there was a use
case worth catering to for letting the computer go to sleep during
backup but most of the time users expect the computer not to go to
sleep during backup (I expect this to be the case), obnam should
inhibit sleep by default and not inhibiting sleep should be an option
the user could choose.
