You notice if you ever start a live CD (although really that's a
different case). I notice because suspend to ram has never worked on my
machine (there's already a year old bug in launchpad about it) and I
like to know that any problems I find aren't due to a bad resume. Then
there are machines using the open source NVIDIA drivers can't resume
after suspend to ram in X due to a lack of information -
http://katzj.livejournal.com/407566.html?thread=350990#t350990 . There
are also machines that are used for shared logins. While they might not
be shutdown you are affected by the time it takes for your desktop to
appear after GDM...

Hey by all means fix my suspend to ram / resume issue - if you want to
know more let me know. However there are always going to be times when
you do a cold boot (e.g. after doing a kernel upgrade) and some people
just prefer doing shutdowns. Ubuntu has focused on speedy boots in the
past so it seems a shame to quietly erode that work.
