Which is no reason to not reinvent the feature now. Face it, some people
- some of which are my clients - do from time to time not use their
machine for a longer time than expected and would like to even still get
back where they left off. Hibernation is (or should) be an alternative
way to get back to exactly where you left off.
Some data in memory would be stale by then possibly, but hopefully some
routine could update those address areas on load.

I think the stewardess' point was that it shut off your computer actually. :)

What do you mean everyone?
