I understand your concerns, but I think that they may be a bit
premature. As discussed several times:

1. For Ubuntu Touch on the phone, the proper way to do multi-tasking
is not to run your application in the background, but to use well
defined system services. This has been well designed, and there will
be very good SDK support for this.
2. We are talking about v1 of the application lifecycle that is
specified for phones only. The policies will be extended and changed
as Touch gets optimized for tablets and desktops. Running as a
desktop, Touch will have a different policy, that will most likely
include the ability for applications to simply keep running in the
background.

Cheers, Rick
