You're mixing load average and cpu usage. Two are somewhat related but not the
same thing. If you don't understand that, just stay away from system
monitoring utilities which distinguish idle and iowait. There are quite a few
pretty monitoring graphical widgets which don't draw attention to iowait
(either draw it the same as idle or in subtle tone). Your request to change
the meaning of load avg is not different from requesting the kernel to add
cached/buffered memory to free memory as some people can't wrap their heads
around what those numbers actually mean.
I don't think this is going anywhere and am fairly sure that further bug
reports on the subject won't lead anywhere.
Let's meet again in a more productive discussion. Thanks.
