If you have a need for it, you'll know why.  This is for users who, like me, can't be bothered by the OS telling them to give it a reason to shut down.  Many developers use VMs and need quick turn-around.

The Shutdown Event Tracker is to me sort of like my son asking why he needs to go to bed at 11pm...because I said so.  I don't need that kind of aggravation.
