Why do you say that? Certainly you would not want a remote console or
terminal for security reasons, but if I'm sitting at the connected
display, I'm probably within reach of the power and reset switches, or I
can just switch to the text console and give the three finger salute.
The only thing one gains by not putting reboot and halt options on the
logout popup, is inconvinence.
