systemd-logind returning incomplete information is a bug, but is it
really a blocker? And on what basis does something suddenly become a
blocker when it's been this way for multiple releases?

If it's appropriate to block on what amounts to an enhancement
request, then why is it inappropriate to block on bug 1206936 which is
also an enhancement request, to add resume= to the kernel command
line? Hybridsleep is already broken without that.
