I'm pretty sure most of those developers don't hibernate anymore
(myself included). Writing a 16GB file to swap takes forever, and most
hardware can go days when suspended.
But why take away the option, for those of us who don't mind the less-than-15-second
wait (and I do have a 24GB swap for my 12GB RAM) and want to conserve? The life of the
battery is related to the number of charges/recharges that is made in its lifetime. Linux
is about options. (Btw, I have never had a battery lose its charge time life in 18+ years
of using laptops.)
