GFS volumes will wait until fence reports back an exit status before resuming activity. Running a shutdown command that could take 30+ seconds would be disastrous IMHO. It would lock up your cluster for quite some time.

The advantage would be, that the filesystem of the fenced node have a better chance to be intact after shutdown then power cut off.
