So we have 1 submission for review in 11/2004 and 1 submission for -mm

Wrong.  I gave a list of dates at the beginning of the month, do you
think I threw dice to get them?

And could you explain, as suspend maintainer for the linux kernel, how
come code submitted for the first time two years ago and with a much
better track record than the in-kernel one is still not in?


Because Nigel has too much of code to start with, and refuses to fix
his design because it would invalidate all the stabilization work.
Why should he invalidate his stabilization work, and what's in need of fixing? The suspend in the kernel is great, but suspend2 includes both suspend and working resume code as well. 

Plus Nigel did not do very good job with submitting those patches.
They apply, they work. What's not very good about that? Is this being blocked because of a spelling error, or did he mess up the indenting on "signed off by" or what? I realize you may have something other than the download version, but it's been years now.
I would like to see the working suspend (suspend2) in the kernel, and users wanting to debug the resume stuff currently in the kernel could get it under EXPERIMENTAL or some such.

  Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
