Yes. I think Greg wants to wait until the old API is completely gone.

I doubt it will. There's a potential need.

In the general case the idea seems insufficient. If I close my laptop's lid
I want all input devices suspended, whether the corresponding files are
opened or not. In fact, if I have port level power control I might even
want to cut power to them.

That's a separate issue. You were talking about runtime suspend, but
closing the laptop's lid is a system suspend.

Why? If you freeze my batch jobs or make unavailable the servers
running on my laptop I'd be very unhappy.
But I want to make jostling a mouse or other input device safe. Thus
I want them to be suspended without autoresume. We need flexibility.

P.S.: Cutting off port power is yet another issue. It isn't a suspend in
the strict sense, because it will break an existing power session.

Yes, it is an additional more complicated option.
