Comment 74 for bug 214370

While this issue is personally annoying to me, I find it has an implication way above the "hundred paper cuts" level in that Windows users considering moving to Linux hit something like this and come away with an attitude like "If they can't get something as simple and basic as playing a shutdown sound working, how can I trust Linux to work correctly in other more important areas?"

Quite frankly, despite all the valid reasons for the essential lack of priority in fixing this feature, I can't disagree with that conclusion.
