Thanks for the link. It was quite educational to glance.
IMHO a lot of talking about nothing. Just give users a choice and they
would figure out what is right for them: Suspend, Restart, Logout,
Shutdown. Isn't it that simple?
Looks like the most obstinate wing took it over in GNOME.
Everyone I know is doing either (a) stick with F14 for 6 months and
see if things improve by then .. or (b) try different DE (kde, lxde etc)
... or both of the above ...
