   Is it entirely impossible to change the two(?) capacitors on a GTA02v5 to
the values of those on a GTA02v6? I can imagine that some users might want to
make that fix while the device is open anyway for the buzz fix.

   Also, as someone suggested on the support list a while ago, how about
providing a means (e.g. sysfs) of reprogramming the PMU to

   1) Disable powering on the device on insertion of USB or wall charger.
   2) Enable the charger.

such that while the backup battery lasts, the battery can easily be
recharged.

   (I also find the PMU default of powering on the device when USB/charger
is plugged in to be sufficiently obnoxious to be worth disabling even on a
GTA02v6.)
