What I find most telling is your "So in order to help everyone" assertion. How can you think that "everyone" would be helped when you "cannot say which devices may benefit "? Why should everyone conform to your view of how things should work?

The most visible example we have right now would be rotation events on the Forma, but I'm fairly sure there's a few power-management related things at play, too...
