Personally, I don't care about swap for memory purposes, but I like
being able to hibernate.  Last I checked, the mechanisms used to
hibernate to a swap file were fragile, even more so if you want to
hibernate to a swap file inside an encrypted root filesystem, and they
still required a pre-allocated swap file.

I'd love to see a mechanism that allowed hibernation to a file that's
created at hibernate time, inside an encrypted partition.
