For this note that there's a fairly strong expectation that even in a
phone type environment a sane userspace implementation will involve a
very large portion of userspace just totally ignoring suspend blockers.
This means that while it is true that userspace as a whole must have
support for suspend blockers the changes required are substantially less
invasive than you appear to expecting.
