I think it's worth filing bugs as the framework is definitely viable for
both. Desktop suspend/resume definitely isn't the focus, but if we can
get it working more, it's a nice side effect ;-) One thing that's
likely to be more problematic with desktops is BIOS bugs[1] just because
the laptop vendors at least consciously consider suspend/resume.

impressive :-)
