Thanks for clearing that up!

But it does bring to the front that Neon is straying a bit from stock Ubuntu
base, which many  assume to  have certain characteristics, more so if the user
doesn't look at the dialogs fully, expecting the same results as previous
installs.

I do not recall noticing this on my previous install some months back, or in
virtual machines in recent months. Can I assume this may be a somewhat recent
change?

Yes, it does have hibernation, and what's why the swap partition is so big: the
swap partition has to be as big or bigger than the amount of RAM on your
system. Ubuntu uses a smaller swap partition (a file, actually) because they
explicitly don't support hibernation.

Whether or not hibernation is a good default is a different question. Perhaps
it should not be, or perhaps there should be an option in the installer. Those
would be separate issues that require separate bug reports though. :)
