Comment 282 for bug 85488

Responding to Ben Collins and Michael Chang.

The kernel devs are saying their suspend code is a mess. That is not something to foist upon users. If it comes down to either/or choices, probably the buggy suspend code should go. However...

It's not either/or. The best solution right now is a boot flag. That puts choice in the user's hands.

So laptop people can do what they want, and USB device people can do what they want, and everyone can use the same Ubuntu.

This idea that Linux compile flags are the right design is a little misguided anyway. Recognize that Linux is very imperfect as Linus himself keeps saying. Ubuntu is also way too assertive about what it thinks is important to users, Ben. All these bug reports and you're still not getting it....sigh.

There's little "hopefully" about anything kernel-wise as the regression still exists in 2.6.22rc4.
