What about "we need this two years ago" ?
I'm having a really hard time convincing myself that Pavel and friends, while rather good as developpers, haven't succumbed to a bad case of NIH syndrome. Even with wanting to move as many things to userspace as possible, merging suspend2 with cleanups if necessary, _then_ starting from there to move things to userspace seems more realistic long-term. Right now it really looks like they're only trying to redo what's already in suspend2, tested and debugged, only different and new, hence untested and undebugged.
The only thing I've seen that is really against suspend2 is the amount of code it adds to the kernel. Given that said code is actively maintained, moving what can be moved to userspace can easily be done afterwards.
