Well, I think we got the interface pretty much right -- and it is really pretty simple. It survived pretty nasty stress testing at one point.
Of course, bad things happen. Having it merged but disabled in Makefile would certainly be preferred than not merged at all. Plus... stable kernel or not, it is new feature, and userland suspending programs are quite closely tied to the kernel. I think it is reasonable to expect users to have matching version of kernel and userland-swsusp tools, at least before dust settles.
