Lego has made it quite clear that they will not listen to us. They say that it
pollutes their vision or something.
All we can do is hope that the few people they do ask for feedback will point out
these 'lacking' points.
But, since version 2.0 (0328) is the feature final, I don't hold out any hope that
we will see such a feature for at least 2 years. Don't get me wrong, I'd *LOVE*
someone to prove me wrong...
I'm just VERY grateful that we can read the battery level and control the
timeout(powerdown) feature and upload our own firmware and whatnot. Also that they
didn't bomb NQC with layers etc...
