It's really not. Hibernate takes a few minutes, and allows you to power down. Suspend takes a few seconds and cannot be powered down. These are important differences that users _do_ understand. These might seem technical differences, but they are very important. > The latter is either suspend > to ram or suspend to disk. system-suspend-hibernate provides a nice > fallback scheme where system-hibernate does not. Right, so you're talking about hybrid suspend/hibernate. If you want to expose that, then I would argue just do hybrid when you want to hibernate (if available) in the UI, as resume from hibernate takes a few seconds, not a minute or so, as long as you don't power down. You never want to do hibernate if hybrid is supported, there's just no point.
