The hell ?!? Hibernate has been working well on every Linux machine I've used, for years.
And suddenly it gets turned off by default *even if you were using it before* ?!?
How is this usable. There are now buttons all over the (KDE) GUI that don't do anything. This has to be *worse*. And because pm-hibernate works, it looks like a bug in the GUI...

I could understand making the default for new installs to disable it if there really were serious issues, but I've not heard anyone having any (except with very cutting edge hardware) for years. Even then you should *ask* or *explain* if you are removing functionality that most people expect to have from a modern Linux distribution.

Whitelisting isn't going to work. People will just assume Ubuntu is broken. Or, worse, 3rd party packages like KDE are broken.
