You are talking nonsense if by "modern" you mean "recent".

My daughter just bought an Asus laptop (1015BX) with 1GB RAM installed,
and a maximum 2GB RAM installable.

My home server is an HP MicroServer with 4GB RAM.
I could install 8GB but see no reason to.
Incidentally, I'm running CentOS on it;
I don't consider Fedora suitable for a server.

No-one is forcing you to use hibernate.
As for it being offered as an option,
surely there are dozens of options that you never use?

I suspect you live in a different world to the rest of us,
and should be wary of giving advice on what should or should not
be included in Fedora.

Ps I guess this should be directed at Reindl Harald, not you.
