Just to add my 2 cents as a user of TOI.  Every distro and release I've 
tried has one major issue with kernel hibernation.  Upon resume when 
hibernating large images, there's a residual footprint in swap.  Every 
further hibernation creates a larger footprint, to the order of an 
additional 5-7% each time.  Nobody has ever cared in any forum to 
explain why or how I might change that.

TOI does not do this and that's why I've been using it on every distro I 
 can for the past 4 or 5 years.  I for one would love to see TOI 
capability added to the mainline to improve functionality and 
performance. If we can't get all 3 maintained, then 2 that are better 
would seem to suffice...
