I don't know, so far nobody has complained about the battery exploding and anybody getting hurt, but it would make the device unusable for people in hot climates. From what I remember the automatic charge is stopped automatically on this condition, as some people complained they couldn't charge their device and saw these messages in dmesg. I guess mainline could choose the safer option and shutdown, no strong opinion about this. -- Gra?vydas
