Just an outsider opinion:
When suspending works only via the button a user has the choice of
closing the lid and not suspending the device. This choice is currently
not available.
Leaving aside the question of what would be the most reasonable default
there should at least be an option for choosing the more secure behavior.
Almost all hardware that Tails currently runs on is after all
susceptible to cold boot attacks.
Thank you all for the great work you've been doing,
