I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately the Kubuntu developers don't think it's
needed for devices without batteries (by default at least). They seem to
think that Hibernate is all about Energy Saving and nothing to do with
preserving the state of the machine on shut down.
In the System Settings, under 'Power Management' only one tab is provide with
an option to 'Sleep' when the button is pressed. Similarly in the 'K' Menu,
under 'Leave', only 'Sleep' is offered and not 'Hibernate'.
