Sure, understood, but unfortunately I'm not sure we can practically
consider even regressions in suspend support to be blockers :/ just my
opinion though, you could certainly stick it on the list to be reviewed
at a meeting.

Right. I'd probably consider that a final release blocker, then.

You could perhaps also attach Xorg.0.log after a hang? it may have
something useful at the end. you'd have to boot to runlevel 3 to take a
copy of it, of course.
