Comment 8 for bug 771896

I think you've got it about right, though I interpret the discussion as "if someone finds a way to do it maybe we will put it in." On the other hand, it looks like it's a good thing somebody submitted a bug, since it appears the various folks in that discussion think it would be too much trouble or something to file it. Or really, that the general trend is to pretend this isn't a bug. I expect, following the logic of the discussion, that suspend and hibernate will soon be removed too.

However, I also agree that it looks unlikely it will be fixed. Note that (a) though the kernel etc in Squeeze is quite old, everything I've tried works there. It might be useful to consider that as an option. Just tryna be helpful!
