See, for example,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624316
which kills video after suspend on a particular laptop running F12
and F13 but which maintainer does not want to touch.  There is a
patch there.  It can be argued that this is a kernel bug but in
practice that does not help very much.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546994 is still NEW.
