I agree, I have to say, BZ has been very good in most of my cases: however, it also depends on the respondent. An example of a bug not having been fixed is the one on ssh-agent not started in LXDE which has been pending since F14 -- I gave up on lxdm and replaced it with slim. (Lately, I have gone away from using any DE so this is not at all an issue anymore for me).

Btw, I always thought that this hibernate not enabled by default without hoops was a decision (feature) of Fedora maintainers since F20 and not really a reportable bug. But it would help to get it reversed. (Why should a feature which exists in the kernel be disabled by default? -- linux is supposed to be about the ability to do stuff...not meaning to start a war here, but it really needs revisiting).

So, please go ahead and report it: you may well be pleasantly surprised.
