It certainly doesn't, but at least it "works" on far more machines
than where it doesn't. Reportedly suspend sometimes fails randomly,
when you have particular peripherals attached, or suspend too many
times, etc.), but that wouldn't be helped with a by-machine whitelist
either.

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.
