The shutdown problem is not a big hole. It grants local root
access only for people with a login on the "physical" machine
(console login). Securing those machines is already "something"
since you at least need to password-protect the bootloader (and
forbid booting from floppy/cdrom/network) and encrypt the
partitions. Not to say it's non-important, but it's not a problem
for servers, so to say.
