The question becomes: how do HW vendors that *do* care about Ubuntu
enough to ensure that hibernation works on their system express that so
that we know we're on one of those systems?

I think that we'd like them to be able to self select by adding
themselves to some sort of list.

Title:
  Disable hibernate option when it is not supported

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
