--- Comment #5 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
So AFAICT, this command isn't specified by POSIX; we're not constrained by a
standard, just history.  What Linux has done is make reboot more like
'shutdown', unless you specify "--force" (and maybe there is some weird
semantics for --force --force, I didn't read the manual closely), it does a
clean shutdown.

I don't know if people would object strongly to 'reboot' =3D> 'shutdown -r'=
 like
behavior, with 'reboot -f' or 'reboot --force' providing the old behavior.=

Probably.  It's the kind of thing old FreeBSDers love to bikeshed about. :-(
