I’d say, anything to encourage people to try, use and join to develop [illumos]
is very welcome. Better laptop support will definitely be
bonus.
Betting better graphics support would be higher on the list (yea, the
other 'dropped' project).
Cheers!

My gut instinct is that this isn’t that interesting – most everyone is
running illumos in either VMs, or in datacenter
applications where suspend/resume has little if any applicability.
While the work itself is probably interesting, and it may enable new
applications for illumos, the concern I’d have would be
detraction from other more pressing work, without any clear use cases for
it.
That said, if someone (you?) wanted to spend cycles on this for personal
satisfaction, I hardly see any reason to discourage it,
and I’m fairly certain if the risks of the new code being introduced are
small (or well managed by sufficient testing for
example), I can’t see any other reason we would reject a suitably formed
RTI.

Subject: [developer] suspend/resume in Illumos
I have a question for developers here:
How important is suspend/resume for OI/Illumos (including S4)?
One of the incomplete projects left behind was S4 (lack of need, and a
hard to identify bug stifled it's integration). It is non-trivial, and
needs updated s/r core code (added configuration and significant
restructuring, as well as likely assistance from developers knowlegable in
other Illumos internals), but if this is an uninteresting feature, it is
likey not worth the effort (recent bugs suggest that few if anyone use
it); however, it wouldn't be too hard to resurect (though would still take
several months of work).
Cheers!
