Comment:

 Hi Guys,

 I can't quite tell where we ended up with this one.

 I think the network should recover gracefully if you click "extreme" power
 mode on then off again. Is that fixed?

 I also think the radio (or chip or mesh) should turn off completely when
 you turn it off. I can be persuaded otherwise, but if it saves a lot of
 power too, its hard to see why not.

 In any case, I don't think I can make this a release blocker but if there
 are real issues to discuss please do take it on list.

 If the main point about not whacking your network by toggling the extreme
 mode is solved, please close this one.

 My 2 cents :-)

 Thanks,

 Greg S
