that's the last commit that had the original in-source documentation about what to do, and which was removed in the next commit. At the time the aim was settling on Suspend/Resume and Hibernate/Resume. Hibernate is generally fine because in English people have often heard about fluffy polar bears in winter. Suspend was better-than-the-other-options.

Perhaps the thing to do here would be to get some hard user testing, and if we have a verifiable outcome then to go about patching everything system-wide at an Upstream level?
