That bug has exactly one aim: disable hibernation by default. And the
discussion was around that topic.

However the original description of this specific bug was too vague: it
listed too many things to do, i.e. it had too many tasks. We should
always have one (and exactly one) active bug for each task.

No, sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. What I meant is: a bug
should be filed against the Ubuntu package that contains the power
settings tool for KDE, and the same should be done against the Ubuntu
package for Xfce. I didn't want bugs to be reported upstream.

Whether the hibernation option should be disabled or not and where it
should be disabled should be discussed on the mailing list. If you don't
use the mailing list, your comments, opinions and ideas really risk to
be ignored. Everyone in the Ubuntu community is always open to
discussion, but if you don't hit the right people, your wishes will
never be realized. :-)
