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

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