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.
