Comment(by gnu):

 I'm having trouble confirming your statement that "Update.1 has suspending
 disabled."  I was running update.1 (build 691) at the time I reported this
 bug.  But update.1 apparently means many things to many people.  Please
 confirm:

   Does the current version of Read entirely eliminate the forced suspend
 kludge that was unique to Read?  I see no Trac ticket for doing this, and
 the source tree at http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/read-
 activity;a=blob;f=readactivity.py;h=3992290d0a9194742c82d9a924e0c15bd32bfea3;hb=master
 still has plenty of suspend stuff in it.  In particular, it calls
 self._service.set_kernel_suspend (whose definition appears to be in
 /usr/bin/olpc-hardware-manager!!!  I can't figure out how that could be in
 scope to be called by Read!) which does a direct write to the kernel,
 rather than going through HAL or Ohm to decide any policy questions about
 suspending).  So if this code is what's running, in what sense does
 "update.1 ha[ve] suspending disabled"?

   Is that hypothetical Read change approved for inclusion in update.1?

   Is it in the current release candidate?  (What release candidate *is*
 that, so I can test it?)

 Thanks...
