   No. I don't have any big issues with it, hence "Priority: medium" in
the PR (should've gone for 'low', but the default value sounded good at
the time). Still, it's a bug - not a feature.

   I'd like to see a fix, even if it's not *that* important. I usually
tend to write 'shutdown -h now' by default, and I expect it to work as
it does on the other ports.
