AFAIK, freemangordon is the one, who will pick writing userland bits, that will replace bme, with proper things using bq2415_charger module.

Everything You see as "GUI output" (and much more of backend) is handled by BME now. Same things - but in proper (linux) way, of communicating with kernel module, will be implemented in userland replacement. Mostly, it's about low-power warnings, shutting device down gently on critical low power, and charging from USB (IIRC, I've tested it already, by forcing charging @ 500 mA from PC USB port, and it worked).

In short: be patient, it's going to arrive But don't hold Your breath, as it's going to take so(ooo)me time. you will avoid suffocating risk.
