The question asked is why the user needs so many options. Since Ubuntu is all about making Linux easy and fun, perhaps it is a good candidate distribution to implement such a change. I don't think it is necessary to reduce it down to a single logout option, but the last three that he mentions seems to be a nice balance. Certainly the computer could hibernate from sleep mode after some time has past by.
