If I added PMSG_REBOOT, I'd have to modify all the drivers to support it. Incompatible change, bad. We already have something close enough, PMSG_FREEZE. That means that drivers will do right thing by default. If someone really needs to tell between normal freeze and reboot, we can add a flag; but I'm not 100% convinced it is neccessary. Same for PMSG_HALT. Pavel -- Boycott Kodak -- for their patent abuse against Java.
