That would be a good workaround. If an app could indicate to the OS that it could be suspended but retain a cover showing the last status that would give the impression of better multitasking than the limited ram allows.

Possibly the OS could periodically wake up suspended apps to update the cover?

Eg. If you had a bug tracker app that woke up every 2 years to check if Jolla have fixed CalDAV and then went to sleep again.
