John, on what hardware is suspend broken?

I confirm pitti's observations that I haven't seen a computer fail to
suspend and recover from suspend in quite a while. I believe we have
been shipping Ubuntu for years to suspend by default on battery power
after a reasonable idle time; therefore I don't see this as a real
concern.

Hibernation of course is quite different and still broken for too many
machines.

Title:
  Disable suspend/hibernate options when they are not supported

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Id like to proposse a change in the design of Power preferences in the
  GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power

  Instead going throuh the "certification" path, we can simply disable
  the options about suspend/hibernate if Its not supported in the
  current hardware (we have api for this in upower)

  I think this solution is more scalable, as we do not need to maintain
  a database with "certified" hardware. Also, we can add a button or a
  informative text when suspend/hibernate doesnt work to guide the users
  about what to do.
