I can see that it was removed deliberately, and reading the reasons it
seems understandable.

I would like to point out that the battstat applet is a very different
thing from the g-p-m.  It was an applet that could be moved and
rearranged, the current charge could be displayed on the panel, the
percentage, time remaining were options, it had a horizontal display
option, and so on.  The g-p-m appears in the notification area. It is
not added by "add to panel."   It is not the same type of thing and
shows far less data.

Saying it uses deprecated methods or has too many bugs is one thing, but
please do not promote the g-p-m as a replacement -- the two are not the
same at all.

I ran into this in the beta and RC and was hoping it was a bug --
please, *please* remove "battstat applet" from the list of things
provided by the gnome-applets package since it has actually been removed
from the things provided by said package.  Right now, someone (like me)
who runs into this *problem* will think it an accident rather than a
deliberate move.
