load applet was the very first application I installed in my new N900. What's important to me is the CPU indicator. Without it I would be in the blue and unable to catch a problem. This has been a very useful feature with a similar app on my N800.
I don't care what other features it's currently missing, that it can indicate CPU usage in the status bar is enough to give it a place in extras, whether or not it has other, unfinished pre-announced features.
Just because it serves your purpose doesn't mean its complete. And the parent didnt really want it removed - just update it to remove the incomplete feature set UI's.
Lets maintain some standards. There's always extras-devel and testing for these incomplete feature sets.

Well, I have 0.4.5.2 installed in App Manager, but nothing shows up on the screen. I have searched in various places if I could find an option to make it appear (as there was in Maemo4 setup), without luck. Should it show up by itself, or is there something to be done ?

I repackaged load-applet as cpumem-applet which includes only the status-area cpu/mem indicators and nothing else. Size got reduced to 10kB and package dependencies got radically cut.
Get it from testing: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...m-applet/0.0.3
Package home: http://maemo.org/packages/view/cpumem-applet/
I know its a bit redundant upload, but Jakub seems to be busy and most people want just cpu/mem indicators, so...

To me any features of load-applet in addition to the CPU/memory indicators are simply easter eggs. I don't see them, I don't know about them, if they don't work I couldn't care less.
For applications in general though I can agree about features. Status bar applets/indicators like load-applet are different.

If you click on the status area you see a widget that consists 50% of a screenshot feature and 50% of a screencast feature (that currently doesn't work).
If you don't see that is because you don't want to see it.

Easter egg, then.. I'll start looking for those for real after firmware&applications have matured a bit.

This is a must-have app, but the line between extras and extras-testing is clear. If the OP's assessment of the software is correct then the OP is right-on. And if you disagree then we have a major fundamental problem. But because of the importance of this app, the developer should have the opportunity to fast track their fix: Turning off or removing clearly broken functionality while placing the current version either in -testing or -devel. But in the meantime, how do we reeducate the 10 gatekeepers that voted for it...
