So, this kinda stalled, but is now a live issue again because we have
exactly the same kind of bug again:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1997310
so, no-one really objected to this proposal, right? Should we just go
ahead and implement it, or what?
Let's go ahead and implement it. Only QA types would consider waiting
2 minutes for this just to (a) time it (b) see what happens, if
anything (c) try to find logs and/or some sort of work around. All
other mortals will properly hit the power button, give it all a second
go - which of course will just hit the same problem, i.e. broken.
