[bitfolk] All customers have been opted back out of suspend+restore

Hi, TL;DR: We turned off suspend+restore for everyone. We think it is okay for you to re-enable it as long as you use kernel 4.2 or newer (released 6 years ago), but can't tell what kernel you're running so erred on the side of caution. We continue to use it for our own VMs. More detail: We've just opted you all out of suspend+restore because of the filesystem corruption that afflicted 2 customer VMs during the maintenance in August. There were 83 customer VMs that previously had opted in. While investigating that we did of course not do any suspend+restore anyway. I am now satisfied that we know why it happened and under what circumstances it should be safe to use it again, but as a precaution we have opted everyone out of it so you can make your own decisions. A direct email has gone out to the main contact for each VM that had previously opted in to this. That email contains far more detail. If you think you had opted in to suspend+restore but don't see that email please check your spam folders etc (and then mark it as "not spam" if necessary!).
