I don't think this is as important as the "forward action" but if there
is enough consensus on this, maybe we should change.
Personally I think wake is too generic, a user could quite easily say
"when I woke up from suspend" when you can't say "when I thawed from
suspend"...
If we can try and get 100% of stuff to accept suspend and hibernate,
then we are 95% of the way there.
If you know of a project that's using the wrong name, or a distro, then
please open bugs to that component and make them aware they should be
using suspend and hibernate (point them to the wiki page).
Richard.
