16 It works for me - but its annoying in that its inherited some parts of
17 the systemd "stuff you - I dont care, I am going to take it over anyway"
18 attitude.  For me its laptop suspend/hibernate - its never worked as
19 well as previous scripts and it seems it cant be undone.  Its also quite
20 chatty in the logs - also annoying.
