I also really thing something should be done about this, even if you create
a user override, allowing applications to multitask in the background.
Like you give permissions for applications to use the GPS.  Then the
battery life would be the users choice, personally i was looking for a
Linux machine in my pocket that is what got me excited about Ubuntu Touch,
but instead i got smoke an mirrors, i use Linux a lot in my life, computers
make our lives easier when they are working for us 24/7 not only when we
are looking at the screen.  Choosing Open Source over closed source is
about freedom, so any choice should be based on user choice not some top
down idea, force onto everyone.

Lets get this fixed.

Linux without Multi Tasking really is not forward thinking.
