This is not an acceptable implementation. It causes the disks to spin
down when you're doing a "reboot" -- which puts considerably more wear
on the drive than an "emergency retract" ever did, and is also really,
really annoying to wait for.
Furthermore, doing an "emergency retract" was never a big deal in the
first place. Who cares?
Please back it out at your earliest convenience.
