What a sad decision for an LTS.

1) Disable hibernate by default: ok, I can understand the many issues around it

2) Not providing a GUI way to turn it back on - BAD

3) Not allowing users to even know that this feature /exists/ - VERY bad

Solutions in #53 and #54 are great:

A) Provide a package in Software Center to re-establish the Hibernate option in the UI. Warning messages like "this may not work for you" is fine. #33 suggest a /very/ nice example.

B) If white/black lists are maintained, allow machines to "certify themselves" (or blacklist themselves): After a (or N) successful hibernate/resume cycle(s), send data to servers.
