Following the industry norm of "Short press triggers a soft power off, long press triggers a hard power off" makes sense to me.  
I vote for Master
Will need to get an opinion from the users of Stable in their product change there

Hello community,

The current openBMC behavior for the power buttion is:
Short press triggers a hard power off, long press reboots the host (power off->power on).

The default behavior for P8 OpenPower systems / x86 is:
Short press triggers a soft power off, long press triggers a hard power off.

The proposal is to change the openBMC behavior to the default P8/x86 one for master and the stable branch supported on Barreleye, any thoughts or objections?
