IMHO hibernate is the special case. In a network environment it is
pretty optimistic to expect that a suspended Unix machine could
resume only 5 minutes later and find all external services unchanged
(on application level).

But anyway, pm-utils can be kept optional, as I have shown, so why make
it mandatory for a "minority" of server systems that never will be
hibernated? Or maybe I'm unreasonable trying to install hal on a server?
