Good point.

I'm unsure how I'd distinguish between soft power cycle
and reboot though. The latter i'd expect to increment power cycle
count the former might but it might not.

I think power is a red herring though. This happens with
two different poudriere builder machines different UPSes different locations. 
The only commonality I can see so far is that both were building the same 
thing.
