You're going to hate me for mentioning this, but that is one character
too much; 45 > 44 characters. Besides that, I think it would be nice if
this could indicate systemd somehow.

Some suggestions to brainstorm further:

    Title: UPower loses hibernate / suspend to systemd
    Title: UPower loses suspension to systemd, new fork
    Title: UPower's suspend in systemd or pm-utils fork

(As systemd user, I'm not intending to give it a negative feeling)

The rest of the news item looks good to me.
