This would not only greatly enhance FreeBSD usability on laptops and desktops. It also would enable FreeBSD to be usable for number/data processing and server applications which are not designed for interruptability/restartability/resumability. Hibernation capability is not only useful for power cuts that last longer than the UPS can bridge, but also for maintenance, hardware repairs/replacements etc. On 11/23/21, Joseph Mingrone wrote: > Hello FreeBSD community, > > The Foundation is seeking suggestions for new projects to support.
