Right.

And *especially* when a background app is hurting a foreground app? I
can't find anyone would want a background service to get more cycles
than the currently executing UI in the foreground, because the UI pegs
the CPU and is thus "hurting" the background service, right? Right?

Do these people read any of the android-* lists, and if yes, which
ones? If you don't know the answer to any of the 2 questions, how can
we make contact with these people?

I don't want you to answer it either. I would love though, if you
could point us to someone who could, or would.

OK. We agree to disagree. I do want ideas and suggestions to be logged
for future reading. I mind the bug-tracking system. I would imagine
something like a web site, where people could post ideas and
suggestions, and others can vote, and comment on them, tag them,
search them easily, etc. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
is simply not appropriate.

So android-platform is the right list for this, ok, thanks.

Screw the HTTP-date thing, do us all a favor and implement screenshots
for the Market application ;)
