No, we are six. But I do not think that it make much sense to report this as a bug. It is certainly a feature thought of by a usability committee.
In any case do not despair. Shortly they will realize that there are people like me with a stupid laptop that drains the battery in suspend mode and cannot hold it for more than a few hours. As soon as they see that there are cases where suspending instead of hibernating is a sure path to loose data, suspend will also be removed from the menus and any way to try to reactivate it will be made ineffective.
By the way, have you noticed how difficult it is to create issues to your hardware and OS when the machine is powered off? One wonders why users are still getting the possibility to switch it on... seems a silly way to allow them to look for trouble.

Title:
  Hibernate option is missing from menu in 13.10 even after trying to
  re-enable

Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded from raring to saucy on my notebook, where hibernate was
  enabled and working fine. Now the hibernate option is missing. I
  followed the instructions on how to reenable hibernate
  (https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html) but
  the option is still missing. Hibernating from terminal via s2disk
  works.

  File exists with proper content and permissions:
  $ sudo ls -l /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Sep 29 18:52 /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

  $ sudo cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
  [Re-enable hibernate by default]
