No offense to anyone involved but I've had a lot more success using the suspend2 patches on my notebook than I've had getting Xen to work. I can understand the desire to maintain as few external patches as necessary, especially considering that Nigel will likely keep his patches updated against the current kernel.org release while Etch will have 2.6.18 forever, but the in kernel swsusp sucks and IMO uswsusp isn't quite there yet so if Etch is to officially support suspend to RAM and/or disk then suspend2 should definitely be reconsidered. If suspension isn't something that matters for the Etch release then I guess it doesn't matter which method is included.
