But with the option to actually have an acpipowerbutton option the end user can set what action is taken when that acpi button is pressed. End users have to setup what action is taken when that signal is received it does not just automatically send the OS the proper shutdown command for a clean and safe shutdown.

Using the poweroff is essentially the same as pulling the power cord from a box. That is not a good choice at all.

Also once you send the poweroff you could easily poll to make sure it is not running anymore through checking what is left running or just checking the state of said machine that just got the acpi button press signal.

Just my opinion and the biggest downfall I see to this plugin. Not everyone wants or needs to save state and really no one should use the poweroff command unless you want to corrupt your file system VERY quickly.
