About that false negative you pointed out, I think you are getting the
wrong idea. I never intended to remove the wait-for-root call. In my
proposed solution, the wait-for-root call stays, and *AFTER* that, it
unconditionally attempts a resume, without checking the output of wait-
for-root. Hence, the resume script will wait for the swap device, and
then attempt a resume no matter what wait-for-root says.

And about the SRU...

>every normal boot was a false positive attempt at resuming.
