Hi,
The users who will use software-suspend on non-laptops are even less.
How many of those are going to run 2.6.8?

No. If the drivers get fixed in newer versions - and some are already,
I think - they will not have this problem. At least not to that
extend.

There is a dependency from the scsi drivers to the scsi core. You
don't have that with swsusp, so I fear it might not be possible. You
can only disable building of swsusp - or have an #error statement
maybe. But I'm not deep into kconfig, so maybe this is possible. But
it is kind of odd, changing options at a completely different place.
Well, since apparently it isn't much work for Nigel, have your way.
Hmm... I could be evil(tm) and just file an important bug against
your package. Being incompatible with usb-built-into-kernel is
certainly that severe. Breaks unrelated stuff would be even higher (it
completely trashes my firewire apps!)
Greetings,
