Your wish is my command :-) As of now they are deprecated in 2.5.1

The methods suspend and resume are deprecated, and a new method "start" has
been added to be able to start a suspended-on-creation thread.

Trunk contains .start since april, so FPC 2.4.2 will contain this method
start (but doesn't add the deprecated modifiers to resume and suspend,
something that I did just now, and update http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_Trunk )
