+The shutdown command has always been used for this. Apparently you need to 
+pass -H to it now, though. To power off aka 'halt' a machine, shutdown -h 
+was used and this still works according to the manpage.
+
+
+Please read the halt manpage (and others):
+
+"These are legacy commands available for compatibility only."
+
+So you arguing its behavior is now "fixed" because it was "broken" does 
+not make sense.
