From an ARS Technica story:

Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.

'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

    (Thanks to a kernel update? Who knows?)

    Yes, exactly. For pete's sake, grub2 was a complete rewrite and it still doesn't know how to look at a swap partition for a hibernate signature and boot the matching kernel, or at the very least know what its previous default was.

    Marking P1, CRITICAL, tag: dataloss. Seriously.
