</I>&gt;<i> Now, we can do &quot;poweroff&quot; to cut the power after stopping the kernel, or
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;halt&quot; to keep  the power on.
</I>
How many people expect their machine to power off when they type halt?
How many people will want their machine to not halt and not poweroff?

Said in another way:
- How many people will this change cause problem to?
- How many people will benefit from it?

I would expect the ratio to be about at least 99.9/0.1 which is why I hate it.

This change seem to be done without any consideration for users.
