So, I've updated to v8 (and of course forget to create that above
mentioned symlink) and logged off and tried reboot. To no avail. So I
switched to tty, logged as root and tried
# reboot
to no avail. Then
# shutdown -h
to no avail.
Then ctrl-alt-del to no avail. I was dumb (and hasty) enough to not copy
the error messages (all looked at very least very similar) and did a
hard shutdown and booted to f12... But, here's at lease something
from /var/log/messages:

Aug 26 14:17:37 localhost systemd[1]: Activating special unit
ctrl-alt-del.target
Aug 26 14:17:37 localhost systemd[1]: Failed to enqueue
ctrl-alt-del.target job: Unit reboot.service failed to load. See logs
for details.

Oh, and adding my +1 to the complains that this kind of breakage
post-alpha should be avoided.
