When will uswsusp be concidered 'rock > solid'? 2008+? Suspend2 is rock solid _today_. Imagine a world where uswsusp is probably going to be used for SUSE10.2, so it will have to be solid at that point. And SUSE10.2 is going to be end-of-2006/early-2007, IIRC. > Linux drivers were as reliable as swsusp (granted I tried to get > uswsusp working and I gave up before messing with the initrd stuff).

Suspend2 does not have all the features uswsusp has, and uswsusp does not have all the features suspend2 has. If you really miss some feature in uswsusp, please help us with coding...
