One additional reason...

With current code, sleep_states(0) will not be set if compiled without 
CONFIG_SUSPEND, which means that S0 will also disappear from
/proc/acpi/sleep. With pre-2.6.23 code it would be listed there.

I think that is even a more relevant change than the display issue and could 
possibly even be considered a user-space interface regression.
My proposed patch fixes that too.

Note that the patch currently does not call acpi_get_sleep_type_data for S0, 
but (partially from Rafael's comment) I was assuming that for S0 that does 
not really matter. If it does, then the patch could easily be adjusted to 
include that.
