I don't agree at all. USB 2 is just an faster version of USB 1.1. Suspend
and resume either works or doesn't work. I can tolerate less USB bandwidth
if it's necessary to have suspend and resume working. You still have
_working_ USB, and I still have my suspend capability, which I use all the
time (because it means I can leave my machine for 30 minutes or hours or
weeks, without having to shut everything down and start up again next time).
