Well, because we're Free to try whatever we want on our devices - after all, it's 'not rm -rf /*'. There are many "hopeless" cases (like Mohhamad, do not confuse with MAG), and if they're happy with it, well, why to deny them?

For some, the most confusing thing is that karam (autor of speedbatterypatches) have actually contributed to the community few (other( useful things. The main problem with him (sorry for personal rant), is that he doesn't believe in documenting what he does, so it's like with Android kids (change something, rely on 1 feedback, then f***** push something for download, after half of year You don't remember what exactly You've changed), but worse.

I'm pretty sure, that with proper documenting, there could come some useful things from his work - few things would be busted, few confirmed, and also he (personally) would be able to head into proper direction of optimizing - yea, developers also learn while writing things, from feedback/suggestions also.

Instead, it's just a bunch of undocumented mess, with bunch of undocumented "testers" (most of them are very far from knowledgeable - to say at least - see again Mohammad), either writing that's it's great and gaining 2642374237 performance/battery gain, or that it caused lethal problems. Without any chance to benefit from such reports, as they're exactly as messy as "patches" itself - no one know what they do exactly, so no one know what exactly got screwed.
