As long as you provide a way for halting without powering down
then I don't really care. I have a power managed machine and I
_do_not_ want it to power down when I halt it.
At least the "-p == power down" and "-h == halt" argument
provides me with both the options I need. Your option removes
the very option that I want, with no replacement mechanism.
Cheers.
