In case there are still people out there who might take what Heiko
writes seriously:

The advice about trying to avoid scripts in systemd-sleep is not about
passing the blame, nor is it due to bugs in systemd.

The systemd-sleep logic provides the same features as the equivalent
pm-utils hooks did, this means that we are no worse than before. No
new bugs, no regressions, no missing features.

That said, it is obvious by looking at what kind of hooks were written
for pm-utils, that they are all hacks/workarounds for bugs that should
have been fixed elsewhere. For this reason, we want to discourage
people from using these hooks, and rather fix the bugs they are used
to work around

If it turns out that there are examples that are not actually bugs,
but a valid use of these hooks (I have yet to see one), then the
functionality is still there. Same if you just like using the hooks
for silly things, or if fixing the relevant bugs is too hard for you.
The functionality is there. There is really nothing to complain about.

My apologies if I was unclear in my first email, and I hope that this
leaves no room for misinterpretation.

Cheers,

Tom
