So, because you feel that phones should be little laptops you oppose providing (optional!) support for environments that take a different view to that? I'll echo Ted's question -- is this the opinion of the kernel community at large? If so, there's not much point in continuing to have discussions around suspend blockers. I think that we're still a ways away from a world where we can treat mobile devices the same as laptops and get reasonable user experiences. I think it's unfortunate if the attitude here is "wait and someday it won't matter", especially because I'm skeptical that we're likely to hit that "someday" any time soon.
