Pushing the button momentarily should power down the board if the SW
supports it. If it does not, then it needs to be fixed. It does work as far
as I know on the image we ship with the board.

I've read what documentation I could find about powering down the BBB.
Clearly shutdown -now in a ssh session is safe. Clearly pulling the power
is not.
Pushing the power button momentarily does nothing. Documentation says that
software is needed to sense and respond to this action. I presume this
means that said software is not part of the Angstrom distribution that
shipped (before the switch to Debian). Pushing and holding the power button
does cause a power down.
Question1: Is push-and hold of the power button a safe shutdown method, or
is it similar to just pulling the plug?
Question2: If push-and-hold is not safe, has anyone (and distro) developed
the software necessary to sense a button push and initiate a safe power
down?
