Right, you have to bear in mind the options g-p-m gives are the ones users understand. To a user: suspend = quick, but bad if my battery runs out hibernate = sloooow, but good if my battery runs out
suspend = eats battery hibernate = battery stays charged
So in that sense, I would think mapping the DeviceKit-power Hibernate() method [and thus g-p-m] to hybrid suspend on systems that support it to be a very good idea.
This way you would loose one great advantage of hibernate, namely not using battery.
