I agree. 
But my experience tells me that a kernel crash upon sleep or hibernate is a 
very difficult bug to troubleshoot.
Most of the time, these bugs arise only on a specific hardware or BIOS or ACPI 
design or other unknown things.
In my case, I really like to have to only close the lid when I'm finished with 
my session and have the computer shut down.
In fact I don't really need sleep or hibernate, because my laptop boots Oneiric 
in exactly 5 seconds - an awesome performance !
Waking from sleep or hibernated would take even more time than that...
An other comment I would make is that, in my opinion, the philosophy of open 
source developpment is all about freedom of choice when it comes to UI and 
settings - so why restrict options users had previously (and were happy to use) 
?
