It seems like rather nice behavior from a user point of view,
actually: "active" windows will still be blinky, but "sitting in the
background forever" windows will not be. I doubt most users will even
notice, to be honest, because they tend to focus on active windows --
and to the degree that a blinking cursor draws attention to non-active
windows, the old behavior (always blinking) is arguably a _bad_ thing.
Given that, adding all the complexity necessary to use _battery power_
as a precondition seems quite absurd...
