Good point -- I think a lot of people are developing knee-jerk OMG WPS 
BAD PONIES! reactions without understanding the whole picture.

And honestly, I'm getting a little tired of they hyper-focus on 
squeezing another 10 minutes out of your battery.  Sure, if there's a 
poorly-designed app that polls like nuts, it should be fixed.  But I 
consider these issues to be pretty low down (right above general 
optimisation) on the priority list for being fixed.

On a related note: the battery, systemload, netload, and wavelan plugins 
have no active maintainers (AFAICT, I could be wrong).  If people want 
these fixed, they're gonna have to step up and take responsibility for 
doing it themselves.
