Re: The end of TuxOnIce.

Hi,

Thanks for the work!
I must that in 2011 the in-kernel implementation is ok in my use cases.
That's why my interest for ToI is a now a bit low.
However, I want to say that "improved boot time without hibernation" is
not an argument.
Ok, one can boot much faster than in 2008 but I do like to be able to
hibernate while a very long computation is running.
Shutdown is not always an option :)
