This particular item is dangerous and will be removed from the kernel.

Is it up to you to decide that? ;-)

As a matter of fact, yes it is. And it has been removed from Linus's 2.5 
tree as of last night. 

This is very very poor.

Note that the argument is moot anwyay - there exists a sysrq key 
combination that calls pm_power_off() (which points to acpi_power_off()). 
This gives users the ability to turn their system off immediately, though 
removes it from procfs. 

Switch it off!!! It's dangerous!
