Ok, I guess one more pair of eyes would help. > > >> Even the good ones that get lots of fixes aren't all that good.

Number of suspend bugs in suse bugzilla is certainly lower, and I guess it works a bit better, too. (But we do not claim s2ram support for machines outside of s2ram whitelist). Now, perhaps redhat should get someone to work on suspend/hibernation support (kernel level)? IIRC you had Nigel at one point, but he was working on something else? Rafael and me am trying to look after hibernation, but I believe noone is really working on suspend :-(.
