With all due respect, do recall that many who are installing Linux are
doing so on older or recycled machines. Also, Linux is used in a wide
variety of environments, not just desktops.
It would make sense to offer the option to disable swap, hibernate,
standby, etc.; but don't remove it from the system. To do so is to say
*you* know better than *I* do how capable my hardware may be; that's
positively Microsoft- or Apple-ish.
