In the old builds I could initiate a shutdown and close the lid and the XO just finished the shutdown. In the new builds when I close the lid the shutdown halts because of suspend (I think, can be mistaken). Could it be a little bit more clever about when to suspend? Or is it what you are referring with "(this will need to interact with lid-close in a sensible manner.)"?
