6 Tend to agree. I just got an elog out of udisks complaining about
7 USB_SUSPEND not being set, and I have no idea why I'd need that on a
8 system that is powered 24x7. Even the kernel docs suggest that it
9 should be disabled if users aren't sure if they need it.

11 Maybe we need some way to distinguish between must-have and
12 nice-to-have situations? Clearly failure to boot is in a different
13 category than not-able-to-suspend.
