And how many joe-average Linux users know what the contents
of /sys/power/state is? Also, my girlfriend has no concept of what "ram"
is, and why it should be faster than "disk".

She does understand the speed difference between suspend and hibernate.

I really don't think it's important to know what each of the Sx states
is doing to individual bits of hardware, not for the end user anyway.
