Or a properly written desktop, or a thin client for desktop or ...
The really old boxes are actually not the problem, we don't try and use
ACPI on them so we won't try ACPI reboot. For those later ones it is
probably worth trying anyway - we might end up with a different blacklist
to before but there are multiple servers that really don't like old style
reboot nowdays.
