No, it's not convincing enough.  Replacing the suspend code in the
kernel that Ubuntu ships places an onerous burden to continue
maintaining it into the future.  It will place the Ubuntu development
team in the position of maintaining a kernel fork that uses a
completely different suspend subsystem.  I'll wager that's a position
they don't want to place themselves in.  Granted, there is value add
and a patch set that they currently apply, but those are small beans
compared to the level of effort that's been outlined here by Matthew
Garrett.
