Right.... --poweroff should be the default. --halt should bring it to a
halted state but leave the power on (not so useful these days), which
is I guess why -h is now equivalent to --poweroff and you need to use
-H or --halt if you want that. But it shouldn't _reboot_ unless you use
the -r or --reboot flag.
