I just checked bugzilla, and found 3 entries that seem relevant:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18885
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17907
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18538
It seems that this is a new feature:
`poweroff` is supposed to halt the system and be followed by a power down
`halt` now shuts the system down but leaves the power on
I have not tried the `poweroff` command yet, so I can't say if it works or not.
I guess some script gets called during shut down to create the file `/poweroff` if the
power is supposed to be turned off, or else to create the file `/halt` if the power is
to be left on??
