Would you consider wakeups to be a bug?

["Bryan Quigley" <gquigs gmail com>]

Dear Gnome Game developers,
I recently tried to report a bug in Ubuntu showing that several applications cause a large number of wakeups when doing nothing.  They have deemed it not a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/194938)

Among them was the following gnome-games:
 iagno, same-gnome, glines, gnobots2, (gnobots2 may have a legit reason for it)

Do you consider causing wakeups when the application is doing nothing a bug?  You can see this by using powertop or by simply running strace on them.  The games above never stop doing something.
Thank You,
Bryan Quigley
