It had spurred arousal on the test list since Adam mention that the 
Desktop team had decide to remove the ability to reboot.
( and nobody from the desktop team well corrected him )

"It was discussed during the Test Day. I don't have a web reference for
this exact issue, but the position of the design team is that they think
the only common use case for rebooting is to boot into a different
operating system in a multi-boot configuration, and they want to handle
that as a special case somehow (a direct 'reboot to Windows' option has
been suggested). They don't believe there are any sufficiently common
use cases for rebooting other than that one to justify the added
complexity of providing it as an option. (Desktop team, please correct
me if I'm representing this wrong)."

Just so we are clear on the subject the Gnome UI designer are not going 
to remove the ability to reboot from the desktop?
( Old mockups suggest that the ability to reboot will not be removed 
[1][2] ).
