I understand the reasoning, but in my opinion, this behavior should be
optional. I installed 6.1 today and was absolutely baffled that I am no longer
able to see my battery status (charging/discharging) and percentage.
This functionality is so common and expected by default on all battery powered
devices that not having it, not even as an option, feels very wrong. It feels
like a bug rather than an intended feature. I would really appreciate an option
to "Always show battery charge level" instead of power profile icons.
