I think people are forgetting that the main point of CSSU is to replace/update elements of the OS that cannot be normally replaced from the repositories.

At this point I'm not even sure that an open source recode of the battery applet should be part of the CSSU - it could just as easily be a seperate package, no? Not only does it keep the CSSU confined only to the stuff that needs to be in the CSSU, but it lets people replace their battery applet (or not, if they so chose) on either a CSSU'd or not-CSSU'd device.

That's not to say I'm against the battery replacement, and I like the idea of seeing mAh along with the percentage, but I can't forget my give-users-choices mantra, and all the related ideas, just because I personally like the possible-future-direction option.

Anyway, the main point of what I'm saying though, is this hardware sync thing can go suck it. Even if it makes the device smoother, it's not that amazing. And animations do look slower with it, even if they are smoother - users who don't like the cahnge shouldn't have to deal with Theme Customizer or manual tweeks of their transitions.ini file just to make their stuff look nicer again.

At any rate, the CSSU isn't about giving every little possible tweek that someone might want quasi-official default-ness. Less nr_requests and lower swappiness (and other tweeks) seem to help quite a few things too - but there's a reason why CSSU doesn't include those - because it's already easy as frak to do it by default.

Power Kernel is better than stock too, yet no one who's thought it through would want to force everyone to upgrade kernels just to get CSSU fixes/patches/goodies.

And if you want hw sync or whatever, it takes you five seconds of file editing and a reboot to do it. There's no reason for the CSSU to include it by default.
