_I_ don't think I'd like that. I _can_ hibernate Windows, run Linux,
then resume Windows. I've not hibernated Linux at all except

It's safe if you don't touch *ANY* filesystems that were mounted when
the system was hibernated. For example, it is unsafe to mount the
Windows partition from Linux, hibernate, then boot Windows.
