Why?!?

A mechanism for wake-up from power-off exists (yes, it's a bit sucky,
so we'll have to have a workaround for alarms >24h into the future,
but at least it's possible) -- check

Power management efficient enough to make suspend meaningless -- check

I cannot really understand why a lot of people here seem to want
crippled functionality just because other platforms have limitations.
