Ok, I have discussed this with Jason W and I think we have a final decision on this item for Oneiric:

1. Suspend is enabled by default on all computers. A option to disable Suspend is shown in the power indicator, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power

2. Hibernate is disabled by default on all computers, unless the computer is on a whitelist. The whitelist should include all "Ubuntu Certified" ( http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ ) computers on which hibernate is tested regularly and proven to work. Perhaps in the future this list could also be augmented by a community certification process? A user can re-enable hibernate at any time by going to the power settings, as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power

cheers,
John
