No, I think it was a very good decision. Not only low-level programmers need it, but also normal* users who want to know how long the battery lasts with certain configurations. I know for example that with gsm on it lasts about 50h in suspend, with gsm off about 100h, and with gps on about 8h without suspend, etc. And I could estimate this accurately overnight, and not by waiting 4 days. On the other hand, I have absolutely no idea how long my motorola battery lasts. It usually shows full for a few days and then drops really quickly. *if you can call FR users normal users
