I don't plan to change that tho. We have good reasons to switch away
from X back to console as X tend to do bad things that I won't enumerate
here. Removing that would require some significantly reworked
interaction between X and the kernel and may not be suitable for all
suspend modes (some x86 junk do actually require the screen to go back
to BIOS-like text mode for suspend).

So I have no real incentive to change that, besides, it's not like sleep
was stable enough on all machines yet :)
