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) ?
