Much hot air over blinking cursors

And what about having a power-saving option to disable the cursor blink according to the power-saving policy?

Much like the monitor brightness option, the user can configure what brightness value should be if on battery or on AC. Add it an option to blink or not the cursor according to the user wish.

I don't see how people would not like it if the default was to disable blinking when one wants to save every mW, but stay on by default when the power-saving is not important.

For the others where it is really a question of taste, just disable/enable it, knowing they will reduce the battery life by their selection (much like the decision on the monitor brightness).
