The lock screen is indeed infuriating! Does anyone know if there's a way to restore the old behavior where you could enter your pattern lock immediately after pressing the power button?

The extra swipe serves no purpose at all, given that I've already pressed the power button, and have a pattern lock.

Yeah, even if you disable showing notifications on the lock screen, you still have to swipe away an empty screen to get to the pattern.

Annoying.
