11 minutes to 55 seconds in their example is interesting. I'd wager this won't do much for the consumer side, but enterprise...could save tons of time.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yinz shut your boxen down?
What I'm thinking. If it took that long for my server to shut down, I would just sync and force reset. Although tbh, most things are VMs now, and those reboot pretty fast and would likely not be affected much by these improvements.
You guys heard about vulnerabilities?
You guy??

I thought the delayed shutdown was intentional to not let the vibration of the disks increase too much
I don't think that applies to SSDs
well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.
