I'm agree with you.

Reboot is needed for some reasons, the first is dualboot. And hide power
off behind the Alt key encouraged to focus on suspend. A choice that,
for no-geek users, wastes energy. This is contradictory with the choice
to replace screen-saver by screen-off to save energy. I don't understand
this contradictory choice from the dev team. :s

Personaly, I think the better way is to have to differents entries and
no only-one: Suspend and Stop.

* "Suspend" show a system modal window, like the present-day system
modal window of "Power Off", with two choices: "Quick Suspended" and
"Long Suspended"[1]. Have a window add the posibility to confirm and
save time in case of error from a mouse click. This window don't show
applications running.

* "Stop" show a system modal window, like the present-day system modal
window of "Power Off", with the list of applications running and two
choices: "Power Off" and "Restart". 

But if we want to remain coherent, User-Menu have anoters unlogicals
entries: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643916

[1] I don't know if it's the better names. Maybe continue to use
"Standby" and "Hibernate".
