Given that APM should work for those users whose machines support it and
have enabled it in the kernel, do we really want to start adding
extraneous options to the port that the average user has to remember to
set in order to install a GDM that behaves in the expected manner (and,
in fact, the default manner, if you're running Linux)?
If power management is broken on a machine, the correct thing to do is
to disable the apm driver on that machine, not to go around deliberately
breaking the intended functionality of every port that happens to use
'shutdown' or 'halt' in order to work around a few broken architectures.
