Yeah, for example on a system that doesn't suspend properly, but all
you're offered is the opportunity to suspend.

Once FC5t3 is out I'm going to do some serious looking into why my very
recent Dell Inspiron 9300 doesn't suspend (or hibernate), but even so, I
still need some way of shutting down the system, and getting it to start
again (without having to reboot using the on/off key after suspending) 

I guess what I'm saying is maybe we need to leave shutdown and restart
in place until such time as suspend is actually working as expected.
