My two cents: I see 3 different requests in the bug:

Data toggle to save battery - in my opinion based on usage/testing, this
is not needed as the system is efficiently managing power states and
suspending, battery life is quite good with all radios enabled

Alerts from social media - thats what silent mode is about? or enable
flight mode to avoid all interruptions

Limiting unwanted data usage on the cell network - this seems very
reasonable to me and I would be in favor of adding that toggle given the
number of requests we have seen

Title:
  [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator

Bug description:
  I was wondering : Why it isn't possible to disable data from the
  network indicator ? Probably with a switch button that offer the
  choice between no data or data activated (with the last data activated
  state (2g only or 2G,3G,4G).

  Why this ? Because it's the first setting to change to save battery,
  and probably one of the most used (I asked around me, everyone agreed
  they would prefer that over Wi-Fi if only one was possible).

  I think it's stupid to go to the settings app for the most common
  action (and very frustrating). Of course, this also apply for the
  battery setting page (that already contain Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and
  brightness settings).

  I asked that on the phone ML, I've been invited to file a wishlist bug
  there to "help" designers with next iteration of network indicator. So
  here it is !
