Apple seems to expect App Nap might create issues, the developer docs for the feature have a note indicating:

> Note: If you experience problems with App Nap, you can temporarily disable it for a particular process by typing:

> defaults write <app domain name> NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES

> Immediately file a bug describing the app and explaining how to reproduce the problem.

Apple's note does not imply it's a design issue. Just that the software is not ready and bugs are expected.

> Apple's note does not imply it's a design issue.

At no point did I imply that. I was replying to eddieplan9's declaration that

> Timer Coalescing - is the only one that has the potential to alter application behavior

by noting Apple thinks App Nap may do so.

You can also disable the whole thing by typing in

  defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES
