I really understand. But no amount of understanding will make it a good idea to file bugs about it. [Also note that most CPU/GPU chips have overheat protection.]

I would recommend sitting tight and waiting for this functionality to be released. The Nouveau project's devs are well aware of the lack of power management support. You can also come to #nouveau and see if some devs are willing to share their reclocking scripts with you, although it's more than likely that the answer will be "no" or that they won't work at all for you.
