This will slightly inconvenience the user trying to shutdown the
machine. I would expect that an user that has the power to shutdown a
machine would also have the power to shutdown it from a
terminal/console, and give the users a bit of time to save work/log out.

This potentially causes loss of work and certainly loss of current
sessions.

So, I guess, for me the choice is the last one. Of course, nothing
prohibits the "admin" user to 'shutdown -h now', with the very same
losses. But -- and this is important -- it is *not* Ubuntu causing it.

Just a personal view.

Thanks.
