You have been subscribed to a public bug: Shutdown, NOT suspend should be the Default action when the power button is pushed. There are many cases when a hung system can only be addressed by removing power or forcing a shutdown. Shutting a hung system down via the power button will do less harm that simply removing power.
Finally, hibernate and NOT suspend should be the Power Management default because data will be lost during suspend if power is lost.
