I'm not using laptop-mode-tools for a long time now and recently I've got two bug reports that I don't really want to bother fixing (they are upstream problems).
If nobody steps up to maintaining this package by the next Friday, I will drop it to AUR.

I've pushed tlp and tlp-rdw to [community] as a replacement for laptop-mode-tools. For those who don't know about it, you can check the upstream website [1] and the wiki [2]. Power savings are on par with laptop-mode-tools.

Does anyone know of software that offers laptop-mod-tools' configuration to automatically hibernate on a critical battery level?

Does it have to be something other than Gnome?

The suggestion is appreciated, but being a snobby i3 user, I rather despise Gnome, KDE, and other similar weighty environments. I'm making some progress on a udev rule that will do what I want, however; currently I'm testing to see how often my battery emits udev events.

And the udev rule works! Now I can completely do away with laptop-mode-tools.
For the curious, I used: SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="5", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl hybrid-sleep"
This should work for any laptop that emits battery uevents at a reasonable rate; mine didn't seem to at first, but started sending one per 1% drop after it dropped below 15% or so, so if you want to test it you may be waiting a while.

I had a good hunch you wouldn't be satisfied with Gnome :)

That's cool! Do you think this would fit somewhere in the Wiki or as an AUR package? Are you sure you want hybrid-sleep instead of plain hibernate: both will save your state to disk but with hybrid-sleep you run the risk of running your battery all the way down, which supposedly isn't healthy for the battery (http://www.pcworld.com/article/191574/long_live_your_laptop_battery.html).

A wiki article seems best, so that people can adjust the type of sleep and percentage chance to best suit their laptop.

There is a small danger of that, but my laptop uses little enough power when suspended that that 5% charge will give me hours to plug it back in. The hybrid sleep is just a final failsafe and the hibernate part should never actually be needed.

It's already there: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop#Udev_events
You should also be aware of this caveat: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Laptop#RUN.2B.3D.22.3Ccommand.3E.2...
