Is it considered a (fixable, bugzillable) bug if normal suspending works 
but has undesirable effects?  Example -- on my Thinkpad Z61t, suspend and 
wake-up worked out of the box with FC6, but the power drain was impressive 
(I have the figures at home, but it was >50% battery of capacity 
overnight).  Some experimenting demonstarted that removing the USB modules 
before going to sleep dropped the sleeping power consumption considerably, 
so I put those in SUSPEND_MODULES.  I figured this was model specific so I 
didn't bugzilla it.  Should I?
