> @Ted; both suspend and hibernate need to be opt-in, e.g. if we are unsure they are disabled by default
With my desktop TL hat on, I veto this. See comment 5 for the details, which haven't gotten any response yet.
Disabling a working suspend functionality on a lot of hardware out there just because we don't know about it is providing a very poor service to our users. Conversely, enabling it on known boxes is still not going to magically fix the bugs which break suspend/hibernate in some cases. We need to get the actual bugs fixed!
Would you stop shipping GNOME, Evolution, or Firefox, just because they have some bugs which sometimes crash them in some circumstances?
