Yep, they want to retain the API's semantic as much as possible. BTW, OpenPdroid and similar are even more invasive and unfriendly to developers and revenue (randomize IMEI on each call,etc.). Regarding the pleas to merge this: That patch will definitely not make it into CM. That's also the reason why the original PDroid has been delivered as both a normal patch for the source and as .smali patch for use with apktool to enable easy integration the way autopatcher does.
