>> Hibernate (suspend to disk) has been disabled by default, as it was found to be unreliable, very slow and confusing to have two suspend modes.

I'd guess from the phrasing that suspend-to-disk can still be enabled, it just isn't by default.

Yes, it can be, and the next bit says as much. I've pasted in the rest of the bullet point to clarify. I was just disappointed that such a thing has to be enabled manually now.
I find STR reliable, stable, fast and good enough that I think hibernation isn't really needed any more...
Hibernate is a must-have for long travel without outlet access.
Suspend to Ram is great, but my battery dies by the morning in this mode. Plus I figure if I ever buy an SSD, hibernate will be my preferred option.
