You really don't want to just power down the machine like that -- it might lead to disk corruption and is certainly not a good idea for a server with a huge power load. I really don't think we want this feature in Fedora.That action occurs after all filesystems have been unmounted and just before /sbin/halt will be called to shut down the ATA power supply or /sbin/reboot called to send control back to the BIOS. The OS has already cleaned up for shutdown.
The root filesystem is still mounted read/write, as I believe.The powerdown process flushes all the buffers to disk, before halting. If this does not happen, the root filesystem will probably still be marked dirty, and be fscked at the next boot.
