1) Repartitioning is sometimes not an option. 2) What happens, if the swap space gets used?
I want to be sure I can suspend my {server,laptop} in case of power running out. Using swap is only an option for desktops.

NACK. You want to keep all partitions related to the hibernated system read-only. That's completely different from destroying all your unsafed data and possibly long-running tasks. -- Top 100 things you don't want the sysadmin to say: 51. YEEEHA!!! What a CRASH!!!
