Let me explain my thoughts:

Ubuntu is trying to be a Desktop OS as it's target, and the WiFi LED is important under a desktop environment. Ubuntu primary Desktop environment is Gnome, so if we want a consistent user interface we should be consistent with the UI, inside the desktop and outside with the hardware. A la Apple, be consistent.

I think that the blinking light is useless. There are people who likes it, there are who don't. A kernel run-time option us fair for me, but that's a upstream decision.

Let's think that this kernel option exists: What will be the default behavior?

My idea is: Be consistent with the UI: Gnome. Be simple and intrusive.
