This, in fact, is one more reason to disable Restricted Boot first thing, 
before doing anything else with YOUR computer. Because with Restricted Boot, 
it is effectively NO LONGER YOUR computer.

The fact that this "security" model is inherently incompatible with features 
as common and as frequently used as hibernation and that the "remedy" is to 
disallow the user from using those features shows that this model is 
inherently flawed and unacceptable for a Free Software operating system.

Treacherous computing needs to stop! Reclaim your computer! The user should 
own the computer, not the other way round!
