Yeah, people do.

I'm told 0day does *some* suspend/resume testing, but I think it's
pretty limited, partly because the kinds of machines it primarily
works on don't really support suspend/resume at all. I'm also not sure
just how many of those machines are 32-bit at all..

But I'm adding Zhang Rui to the cc, to see if my recollection is right.

Because you're right, more suspend/resume automated testing would be
good to have. And yes, people test mainly 64-bit these days.

Also, I'm not even sure what the 0day rules are for just plain
mainline. I don't tend to see a lot of breakage reports, even though
I'd expect to. This came in from the x86 trees (and those do their own
tests too, but probably not suspend/resume either), but it hit my tree
fairly soon after going into the x86 -tip trees.
