But why take away the option, for those of us who don't mind the less-than-15-second wait (and I do have a 24GB swap for my 12GB RAM) and want to conserve? The life of the battery is related to the number of charges/recharges that is made in its lifetime. Linux is about options. (Btw, I have never had a battery lose its charge time life in 18+ years of using laptops.)
