Question #76271 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
Lol, yes that is a good point.  Hibernate leaves the machine in a much
more vulnerable state and while it's quite fast to initially boot up it
takes ages to go into hibernate mode in the first place.  In tests i've
done it actually takes more power to go into hibernate and start up than
a complete shutdown and fresh bootup - but i measured it by drain on the
boats batteries and i guess most testers don't see the bigger picture
view i get when i'm on the boat as they probably use mains electrickery
;)  Still any portable device needs to be able to use hibernate just in
case.
