Please note, consuming configuration change events is NOT a way to get around having to deal with an activity being destroyed and recreated -- you still must deal with this to behave properly when your application goes to the background and must be killed to have memory elsewhere, so that when the user returns you will be brought back in the proper state.
There should be no need for an application to just blindly take all configuration change events. Certainly, are you really going to be able to do the right thing for a locale change? Reload every single string you have? It's far easier to let the system do this.
