With full disk encryption and a powered off system, I care a lot less if a laptop is stolen from the car while I'm at the store.

With full disk encryption and a suspend to ram system, the cold boot issue allows them to grab the memory from the system, potentially even move it to another system, and grab the decryption keys for the HD.

Now, ideally, Linux overwrite the encryption keys on shut down, but.
