I think what the kernel is providing is reasonable, from a regression
/ feature point of view. I agree some of the kconfig options could be
modified in a few cases, although this is the pain when we have a
single kernel for all the different products.

Do you think that the average user with a clicking sound card or disk
corruption when suspending would be able to make the link to this new
package?
Even better ... the integrated mouse pointer on my external ThinkPad USB
keyboard stops working if USB suspend is enabled for this device.

We shouldn't paper over the cracks. I've seen that again and again and
it just stops being maintainable after a few years.
+1 ... If the kernel isn't perfect, lets make the kernel perfect instead.
Just my 2 cents.
