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):

&quot;These are legacy commands available for compatibility only.&quot;

So you arguing its behavior is now &quot;fixed&quot; because it was &quot;broken&quot; does 
not make sense.
