Comment 33 for bug 250211

Thierry Carrez's analogy with the wired network light is false, as that light is almost always hidden away around the back of a machine.
Wireless lights almost never are, however, and any thing flashing in the eye line is going to draw attention. As such, it should only blink if something unusual has happened. 'Getting some data' isn't unusual, as Mario Vukelic says.
