You are waaaay out of line!!!!
We _ALL_ want a better suspend in kernel!
You are the one who reject all other ideas and offerings.
I think that almost every one who follow/read the thread understand
that... Maybe except of you...

What?
It is a pleasure to work with Nigel!!! Unlike some other people here.
Just read the suspend2 mailing lists and understand... Or maybe you
are too blind to understand how to approach people.
When was the last time _YOU_ offered a new feature that helps the end-user?
In fact swsusp is the one that is not maintained... It is just a toy
for some programmers to say: "Hay I know to do that differently!"

But both will not be able to write image to a file, right?
Both will not be able to write the image to the network, right?
And what about the administrative interface (/proc), this is also not provided.

So swsusp and uswsusp will never reach the level of suspend2... Some
of us understand that... But of course you reject the need... And
going your way.... Although you know that providing the same level of
features will require more in-kernel modifications.

Pavel, people are trying to help you!
It is one thing to reject their help.
But why to insult them?
