@Martin - the OEM team doesn't disable hibernate on every system. Rather, we put in a great deal of effort to ensure that it *does* work on systems that we enable. Hibernate support is a requirement of many OEM team customers, in order to avoid data loss in low-battery situations.

The OEM team does require a way to disable hibernate at the OS level for those systems which do not/support hibernate for some reason.

One proposal from OEM is to keep hibernate enabled at the kernel level, retain an option in gnome-power-manager to put the system into hibernate on a critical battery event, and remove hibernate from the rest of the UI (the power menu + shutdown dialog).
