Ah, but Chris, tossing out the old and bringing in the new is so Brave
New World!  Didn't Aldus Huxley say, "why fix what's broken when you
can buy a new one?" ;-)

At anyrate, while I see user agitation here for suspend2, I see the
actual technical people, the developers themselves, saying, "no thank
you."  So I think unless someone plans to propose to the technical
committee something more convincing than "but it's better because, um,
because I said!" then it's not going to change.

Frankly, the fact that Linus has said no (thus far) is a far more
compelling argument against Ubuntu ripping the old code out and
putting the new code in the kernel than anything I could see being
presented to the technical commitee.
