I prefer poweroff, for the simple reason that if something's exploded to the
point that it needed STONITH, I'd much prefer to run without redunancy until
I can take a look at the situation and make sure that there's not going to
be any more problems.  Having a machine come back up, then explode again,
repeatedly, is far more disruptive to service.
