Well, this is the ten thousand dollar question - why not indeed? Pavel says "Problems are in drivers, and drivers are shared", but suspend2 works around this by unloading certain drivers before suspending, and otherwise hacking around the difficulties. This is, I think, what is meant when suspend2 is said to support scripting. It may not be a pleasing approach from a theoretical standpoint, but it seems to be the only way to get a reliable implementation in a timely fashion -- reliable in the sense of being most likely to work on a randomly chosen machine without custom configuration.
