Ow. I've been using halt since like birth...

That change of behavior, even if actually a "bug fix", is very likely to
hit a _lot_ of people, as one can see a lot of people talking about halt
or shutdown -h on the net (all my coworkers are used to use it).

I'd say it's _really_ worth a NEWS item, when migrating from sysvinit to
systemd.
