To be frank, they don't have time to look at everything, and suspend is
a bit of a way down the list. They are aware of your bug - I know
because one of the kernel team asked me if I was aware of any problems
with 2.6.34 more serious than suspend issues, so obviously they've seen
yours, but haven't had time to respond to it yet.

To be frank, I don't have time to test things at the request of developers if my test results are just going to be ignored.

It's a lot of work to test stuff (as you would know) and no-one likes to be ignored.  Even a simple not in the bug report saying that there was a compelling reason for upgrading the kernel to 2.6.34 that meant that the issue wouldn't be resolved and that I should make sure that I avoid updates if I require suspend/resume to work can't be too much pressure on a developer time - this of course assumes that there was a compelling reason and that it wasn't upgrades for the sake of upgrades in a stable product.)

Might I ask what great good has come from this?
