I didn't like it at the time, however I was wrong. Much of my reasoning for
doing it has become muted as well since then, and the need to do it has
become more amplified as more rc scripts have grown shutdown
functionality...

I think if we make what's now reboot 'fastreboot' or 'reboot -q' (both of
which are historic replacements), we can make 'reboot' what's now 'shutdown
-r now'.
