We have 2 ide layers, 2 usb-storage drivers, 2 sound systems and we have had 2 pcmcia subsystems and 2 usb subsystems. At one point, it's the only way to find out what will work out. Suspend2 and uswsusp have very different fundamental designs, and it's quite unclear at that point which one is the right one.

The polarisation that is going on has resulted in nobody caring about that, sadly enough. And in any case it's absolutely demented that non-disk drivers could have so much of an influence on the stability of suspend-to-disk.
