This is a list aimed at helping build the case for getting suspend2 merged. It is also used by Nigel to gauge interest in features that are planned but not yet implemented, such as suspending to a network.
Nigel's recent attempts at getting suspend merged resulted in lots of "What do we need that feature for?" questions. Please help build the case for the ones you use or would like to see. Please don't make up names!

Swapfile support
- Olivier Dragon
- Martin Fahr

- Alfonso Lopez
- Thomas Maier would like to use it but has read somewhere that it is broken and has not tried, yet
- Nico Schottelius
- Martin Piayda (far more flexible than a swap-partition)

- Karl Hegbloom (I agree with Robert.)
- Leandro Lucarella
- Jordi Nadal
- AlpT (I don't use swap partitions, just swapfiles)
- Michal Suchanek (I use swapfile anyway with swsusp 1 but I still need a little swap partition to save the memory)

- Gary Sandine
Jens Gustedt (encrypted partitions with LUKS [http://www.loria.fr/~gustedt/early/])

- Michal Suchanek (I wish this was easy, inability to repartition the boot drive sucks)
Suspend-over-a-network support
- Martin Fahr, Michael Frank, Bernard Blackham and Martin Piayda intend to use it.
- Jonathan Black might use it in the future.
- Michael Pohl is waiting for it

Bootsplash support
- Fabio Comolli
Ulrich Dobramysl & Ruben Jenster (I would if gentoo's fbsplash were supported.)
- Jos Dehaes (it works sort-of with gentoo's fbsplash, last time I tried, this was swsusp 2.1.0)
- Georg Greve and Benjamin Schallar would like to use it if they could figure out how to set it up properly on Debian GNU/Linux and if it worked reliably.

- Leandro Lucarella
- Jordi Nadal
SMP support
- Felix Maibaum
- Bastian Scholz
- Nico Schottelius
- Larry Reaves
- Paul Ionescu
- Nick Crabtree

- Pat Double (Dell XPS Gen 1 laptop has a Pentium 4 hyper threaded CPU)
- Alon Bar-Lev (hyper threading)
- Nenad Antonić
- Karl Hegbloom
- Gary Sandine
- Lamarque Vieira Souza (multi core)

File Writer
- Rohan Dhruva
- Karl Hegbloom (can I suspend and resume to another file, suspend and resume to the first one?)
- Jens Gustedt (ocasionally)
- Jordi Nadal
- Michal Suchanek (might be easier to arrange than another swap file when swap is low)
