I'll freely admit that I don't regularly test swsusp, but I'm also not reguarly changing things that should break it. > Before I stopped using suspend2, there was a 6-8 month period where I > could easily use both in-kernel swsusp and suspend2 on my laptop.

Did you report them to the list? I try to be responsive (although, again, I don't always succeed to the extent that I'd like. > In-kernel swsusp, on the other hand, aside from being slower, has never > crashed or frozen the machine.

Yeah, being much simpler does have its advantages, and Rafael has done a good job with the uswsusp code. Hopefully I'll get to test it properly soon.
