I think we have a gaggle of bugs with workarounds; however, until the above
issue (#7954), we had only seen deadly hangs on suspend/resume under deep
stress testing, not under any sort of real usage scenario. We really need
to continue to reproduce this and gather more data. I'd also like to see
us try to reproduce this with the new EC code in place.

The issues reported with the touchpad (#7788) are also a bit worrysome
but until we have a way to reproduce that can be reproduced on any laptop,
I'm not going to consider it a show stopper.
