The testing base is already fragmented!

What the current situation means is that you simply never hear from
the people who get fed up with suspend but who manage to get suspend2
working.

I have to feel that having a *working resume* capability is "any interesting features" enough. What you say about "simply never hear from" is unfortunately true.

The fact that Pavel thinks giving the users what they want is a problem certainly defines the difference between them, the populist "give them what they want" and the elitist "let's them make do with what I think they should have."

I do respect Pavel for all the stuff he has done and is doing, I wish I could have found a nicer way to say that.
