I've found energy saving as argument at this point kind of absurd, refraining from negative list of apps, servers, cars ... , questioning the impact it seems rather a political than usability argument. I'd expect to visualize if a terminal window has focus or not, without a blinking cursor there is no such indication. Agreed on an opt-in option, but since it sounds like a final decision from upstream I'll have a look at other terminal apps.
