Some time ago I heard something about iphb - that it's used to make sure that the application is woken often enough.
I remember the name libiphb from my N900 experience, so it's not a new thing. But the whole idea sounds so heretically Android-ish - suspend the app and wake it up when we think it's needed. Normal Linux distros don't seem to use such contraptions.
What I mean: if we allow the system to suspend the application on its own discretion, what we get is something like the awful Android Doze.
Did I get something wrong or are we just mimicking the Android bad design decisions?
edit/clarification: I'm only interested in native apps, not Alien Dalvik.
