It's clearly possible for a pathological Android application to destroy 
the power management policy. But to do that, the author would have to 
explicitly take a wakelock. That's difficult to do by accident. The 
various failure modes that exist in a non-wakelock world can be 
triggered in a wide variety of ways by accident. A sufficiently 
reductionist viewpoint will equate the two situations, but in the real 
world they're clearly different.
