    My point was that the architecture of Suspend2 is fundamentally different to
    that of swsusp. Suspend2 features could potentially be added to swsusp, but
    it would require a lot of work on swsusp. I've worked hard to make Suspend2
    clean and ready for merging. I'm not claiming it's perfect (we've already
    seen a few cleanups I missed), but I fail to see why I should be made to do
    even more work on the old version when I've already said that getting from it
    to Suspend2 involved substantial rewrites. Sure, I know where I'd be headed,
    but it would be a huge waste of time and effort.

    Regards,

    Nigel
