Just make sure this gets implemented in the right place and ensure this 
can be disabled and is disabled by default as well as have proper 
permission since you dont want to grant the ability to friends who have 
paired their mobile devices or tablets with their friends computer the 
ability to wake up/suspend that friends device.

And working on Apple device(s) is one thing, working on all devices is 
another and supporting this is a bit of an hot potato since many laptop 
manufactures will not allow a Bluetooth device to wake the computer from 
sleep mode because of the power consumption requirements to keep the 
Bluetooth radio activated.

So with this feature for people that are to lazy to press the power 
button to wake up their computer from standby or hibernation, comes 
plethora of ( not supported ) bugs so who wants to eat all "it does not 
work for me bugs" and keep a database of supported hardware in the wild ;)
