it's better to have something maintained and not in gnome-applets than
for it to sit in gnome-applets.

i am all for battstat being included by distributions and in gnome
releases, and would be fine from just removing the old one from
gnome-applets (there used to be even another battery applet in there).

i just don't think moving anything good into gnome-applets/gnome-core is
the right way of doing things.
