Where did you read about that? :-? Also, when hibernating, ram data is (or can be, not sure if all distributions enable this feature) compressed and not all of its content is in use... so just imagine a system with 12/16 GiB of ram, whould they have to dedicate a 24/32 GiB of /swap disk space for hibernating?
