Thank you for your explanation.

I still think it's fragile. This behavior of GNOME implicitly depends on initramfs. I think it should be made evident with a Depends-type relationship between the relative packages, otherwise a user could be tempted to use a kernel that doesn't need any initramfs and lose her unsaved data the first time she suspends her laptop for 3 hours after upgrading GNOME!

I'm sure the systemd folks would welcome patches to make logind's CanHibernate logic more robust!

No automatic tool can detect if all the pieces are in place for a successful resume. The only sane choice would be to default to No unless the user explicitly opts in.
