Comment 25 for bug 812394

It sounds like the plan was to disable by default, but still have a simple, easy to discover option to turn it back on. If this is not the case, this bug needs reopened until it is added, or enabled by default again.

Disabling hibernation by default because it is less used than suspend and having two options is a little confusing is fine, but it should be easy to discover how to turn it back on ( meaning: without having to dig around in gconf ). I still don't understand this sentiment that it works less often than suspend; I have always found the reverse to be true, which makes sense since it doesn't rely on the machine's acpi bios which is sometimes broken.
