Personally, just like on windows, I want to permanently disable it.

I can't find much information about this currently, but it seems unlikely to me that soft reboot will be the default behaviour. I expect there will be a new command for this. We already have "systemd reboot", "systemd poweroff", "systemd kexec". I imagine this will be "systemd soft-reboot".

But if anyone has some hard facts, I'd be interested.
