They are carry-overs/carry-ons from sysvinit.
Personally, since I both boot to and reboot/shut down from init3,
when I actually wish to shutdown the system I use the shutdown command.
And would not keeping both shutdown and halt be useful for system
administer, and on any multi user systems where user Are Not
wanted/allowed to shutdown/halt the system.
