Most users don't even grasp the simple concept of different "programs". They just have a device and click here and there and are happy. Really, what are you getting at? Do you deny that there are programs, that prevent a device from sleeping? (Just think of the bouncing cows app) And if you have two kernels, one with which your device is dead after 1 hour and one with which your device is dead after 10 hours. Which would you prefer? I mean really... this is ridiculous.
