Right, and not doing it cuts shutdown in half. However, since it's a
change in interface, you'd have to tag each service that you don't care
about shutting down separately. Which sucks.
Right, but there's very few things that actually need a special
shutdown. And all of them are server services (thus not interesting
for discussion of graphical shutdown).
Ubuntu apparently went through their list:
