For them to have support for sleep and hibernate, someone needs to |
| 9 |
develop / maintain it in order to adapt to kernel API changes; as long |
| 10 |
as the only one doing this is systemd, you'll work towards only it |
| 11 |
being supported there in the future. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
In other words, if people want to see this be continued in other places |
| 14 |
than systemd; they need to either be verbal enough to convince someone |
| 15 |
to do the work, or do the work involved themselves. |

There are easily at least 100 users interested in further support. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So, if some developers and/or users can find the time, will and |
| 20 |
interest to do so the cost to implement it; it will certainly be worth |
| 21 |
to do for the benefit of making a ton of users happy in the future. |

TL;DR: A simple equation: If someone stops development upstream, |
| 24 |
someone else needs to start developing to keep that work{,ing}. |
