Ted, I don't really follow that rationale. Did adding the timer have a
significant hit on the time it took for the dialog to appear that it
justifies removing a subtle backup strategy (which is, in the case of
turning off an enormous, power-hogging machine before going on a month
long vacation, actually extremely useful) and diverging further from
upstream?

I probably have some bias here, but I think appearing quickly is only
half of the issue in a confirmation dialog like this being noticed. It
also has to appear in the right place, which for this dialog is
debatable. On a big HD screen, for example, the confirmation dialog is a
world apart from the menu by which the user chose to shut down. For some
users, that does make a significant difference.

If what Dino99 says was a major issue, I'm happier, but otherwise I
think this fluctuation is a bit odd.
