Shall we hide the GUI for Hibernate in Natty?

[Brian Curtis]

Because of the fact that hibernate (if it fails) can destroy someones
work, I don't feel that the decision to remove hibernate is a bad idea
at all.

If there were time to make it work without a doubt, knowing that
people won't lose their work, then maybe at a future time it would be
plausible to bring back the discussion to see if it would be used
more.
