Here's a blog post about the issue from the point of view of a GNOME 3 developer: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/2011/02/03/on-laptop-lids-and-power-settings/

Their reasoning for this change is: "The vast majority of people do not like lots of settings"

While I can understand that philosophy, the fact is that there ARE lots of settings available and GNOME 3 is just making them harder to get to.
