We could in theory also activate the swap partition only when we need it for hibernation, and deactivate it after hibernation, i.e. enclose the actual hibernation operation with a tight swapon/swapoff. That said, this feels all a bit too much like superficial tweaking to me. If Linux swap behaviour sucks it's really up to the kernel folks to fix it, and we shouldn't add new infrastructure around it in userspace that tries to make it less bad without touching the actual problems with it.
