At least that's how I think about it.
For some simple cases may not be necessary, however at least you don't want leave folks without S4 functionality.
Yeah, hibernation is for me one of the reasons why a normal workstation user would need swap. But there are many people who just shut down and don't need/want more... It really depends on the user's needs. However hibernation is something I should have mentioned.
And with the time I somehow got the impression, the swap-piness question isn't quite simple as it might seem. However.

You made me curious. What's your advice/procedure to determine the size of swap?
