Since this bug is just a minor usability issue, its priority should be
"medium". "High" if for bugs that represent major disruptions.

Bug description:
  Since the move to systemd (I think) the setting in unity-control-
  center under "Power" that says:

  When power is critically low: [Hibernate | Power Off]

  doesn't actually do anything any more.

  That action is now controlled by Upower config in
  /etc/UPower/UPower.conf.  At the end of that file you can see:

  # The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been
  # reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer
  # 
  # Possible values are:
  # PowerOff
  # Hibernate
  # HybridSleep
  #
  # If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used
  # If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used
  CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep

  
  So the default action is HybridSleep and is not configurable by the user in the control center anymore.

  FWIW - I think the best thing to do is just remove that setting from
  u-c-c altogether.
