It's doubtful of the actual usefulness of this Airplane Mode toggle.
What it really does is disable Wireless, but that still doesn't disable
bluetooth (and possibly not mobile broadband either in some cases). Then
comes how to display this, when there is already an indication in the
form of the empty signal icon (that kind of pizza slice icon).
That's without counting how broken all the implementations of "airplane
mode" are everywhere, considering you can and should be able to override
it to still enable wireless... and now some flights do allow wireless on
board, in flight.
Keeping as Wishlist/Triaged. This will need some careful thought and
discussion with upstream; patches and design proposals are welcome, of
course.
