Enlightenment --> Exit is used as a crude way to close down E17 quickly, mostly by developers. It does not nicely ask each application to close down then wait for that to happen. It just rudely stops everything then goes away. This might mean that some applications that prefer to save some state at close down time might not get a chance to. I understand that "Exit" and "Restart" are not meant to stay in E17, they are only temporary development tools. Which is why they are not in the System menu.
Think of it as an emergency stop button. Think I'll ask our artist to make a big red stop button icon for it.
