I, and most people here, understand it is a design decision. That doesn't make this less of a bug.

It's a short-sighted design decision which, while sensible for some use cases, absolutely decimates others. I won't go into the usability of FUSA itself, but suffice it to say it has nothing on the (very mature, tried and true) upstream System Shut down / Log out options.

This is the same kind of design decision as, for example, choosing hot pink Comic Sans as the default font. Explicitly chosen, maybe even by a committee, but a serious usability regression regardless and in need of reporting.

I'm not insisting this be fixed (I'm not the maintainer), but I do ask that you please treat this like any other bug report and only mark it invalid if it is, in fact, not a real problem - for example Ubuntu has chosen to not mention accessiblity for the disabled amongst its selling points.

Just because Ubuntu has a design team now doesn't mean people can go ignoring serious problems because they were "designed."
