Quantity isn't the same as quality. That everybody is doing it doesn't
make it suddenly a good idea. Quite the contrary, as platform developers
we have the responsibility to take the lead and show what _best_ (not
common) practice is. Activity authors can then adopt it.

That's exactly what I don't like: it's specific to powerd. That's fine
for downstreams to decide for themselves and use your patch (Dextrose
may be interested in it, for example), but it's not a good direction for
upstream to take.
