It's because it's all so interconnected. Adding the modular infrastructure is

minor. I did start with the same codebase that Pavel forked, but then did
substantial rewrites in going from the betas to 1.0 and to 2.0.

Hmm, so, if you leave out the controversial in-kernel stuff like, user
interface bits, "extensible API", compression, and crypto, are you
saying there's nothing in suspend2 that can be merged separately?
