No, it's not an upstream GNOME thing.  GNOME doesn't even ship
gnome-power-manager (Yet!). 

This was an experiment proposed by Seth, that will probably be reverted.

For those interested, I think the rationale was something like "TVs
don't ever power off, they just suspend and no one notices, if we can
make it transparent to the user then it will be better for them because
they won't have to wait for a long reboot and deal with the session
reloading" etc...

At some point we should make those menu options editable by the menu
editor.

For now, I think we should just add the menu back.
