I used to use hibernate a lot, even though it was slow like mentioned in
the original email, it was a nice way to save state.  Handy when on
airplanes.

But I agree it's so painfully slow and unreliable to be unusable in its
present state.  Hiding the option in the menu and declaring it
officially unsupported (but making it configurable and still callable
from pm-utils and so on, just no bug reports) seems like a good
approach.
