Actually, distros started to do swsusp-resume-from-initrd long before uswsusp -- because of scsi modules. So that complexity exists already...
Anyway somehow simplifying/kernelizing initrd would be nice. Right now I'm using read-only ext2 as poor-mans initrd (because it is easier to set up that way).
