I too would be very grateful for the revival of this feature.
I lost my laptop's battery last night because I forgot to press 'Yes' on the
shutdown prompt.. so it stayed running until it's battery became critically low.
My other OS, Windows 7 turns off automatically after I press shutdown,
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-session
The automatic 'shutdown timer' feature on the shutdown prompt has been
excluded in Lucid, in favor for a faster shutdown time.
However, although this was through decision, apparently there are quite
a lot of users from previous
