It seems to me that having suspend/hibernate working on 99.99% of all
machine will serve Fedora *much* better. While a new init system might
shave 30 seconds (or even a minute) of FC6/7 startup time, working
hibernate/suspend will cut the wake-up time to mere seconds...

As I see it, a machine should only be rebooted -if- the kernel/glibc was
upgraded. Everything else should be handled suspend/hibernate/service
restart/DE/X restart/.
