Most issues people might have are plain bugs that need to be fixed. Actually, I think that having something by default will put more pressure on people fixing the issues, like 'external usb disk is /dev/sdc after resume and has been /dev/sda before'.
Well, I would not call these "plain bugs", sir :-). By setting this feature as default, you are (arbitrarily) exposing your users to a data loss, data corruption or even hardware failure if they are forced to "button-reset" the machine. Of course bugs have to be filled when problem arises, but keep in mind: data cannot always be recovered! And you know, don't tell users about their backup, as they even know it exists something called "backup" ;-) While I agree that suspending the machine (at some scenarios, with certain hardware and always triggered -manually or automatically- by a user / root decision) and having this feature working in opensuse are both good ideas, in no ways making this the default setup is a good idea (just my understanding).
So I think we'll keep this setting for openSUSE and SLED, and will disable it for SLES. If comment 14 still applies. And we'll try to fix all related bugs. If they're too severe, we still can revert it for openSUSE.
Can you elaborate that statement, please? :-) Are you telling us that having a default feature for suspending "SLES servers" is not a good idea but seems to be the right approach for "openSUSE servers"?
:-)
