I gave that as an example. Actually it is about preditable behaviour and
as such an application can never prevent a suspend when closing the lid
because that could burn your laptop. But it could show a dialog when you
use the suspend hotkey that it won't suspend because you burn a disc.

I gave a big hint to bugzilla, did I?

This is mostly how GNOME works yes. One of the reasons it isn't
democrathy. But most people still coordinate and share common goals. But
non-contributers usually aren't asked.
