Even if we do keep it but disable by default, not to mention I'd add to
to the config enforcer, you'll still have to modify the config and build
a custom kernel to enable it.  In that sense it seems it wouldn't be
that much more effort to apply the patch at the same time.

By dropping it we avoid having old cruft in the distro kernel which
deviates us from mainline and knowingly breaks suspend/resume for some
users.  It also has the potential to add a maintenance burden every time
we rebase and definitely adds additional bloat when we do our delta
review at the beginning of each release cycle.

Give me till tomorrow to ponder over it more.  I'd be happy to hear
anyone else's feedback as well.

Thanks,
