It is not Rafael's fault. Actually it is quite hard to work with
Nigel, because he implements every feature someone asks for, and wants
to merge them all :-(. I don't expect to ever agree with Nigel on
anything important, sorry.

swsusp can be dropped. It is nice -- self contained, extremely easy to
setup, Andrew likes it. uswsusp has all the features, and pretty
elegant design. With klibc (or some way to ship userland code with
kernel, and put it into initramfs or something) we can reasonably drop
swsusp.
