Yep, that's what I thought too. Read on...

Well, given that the kernel suspend is going to be kept for a while,
wouldn't it be better if it was feature full? How would the users be at
a disadvantage if they had better kernel based suspend for a while,
followed by u-beaut-cooks-cleans-and-washes uswsusp? That's the part I
don't get...

So, to be direct, let me ask:

Why is it so important to keep an inferior implementation of kernel
based suspend, when a better one and field tested, exists?
