I do not see the above behavior, either with my laptop (a Dell Precision
M4800) or my build machine (a Dell mini-tower, originally purchased at
Costco).

In each case, I have been tracking head daily; I have been powering
the build machine down since I started doing this well over a decade ago
(and prior to the current instantiation of the build machine), and I
started powering the laptop down after smoke-testing head about a year
ago or so (I think).

For this morning, I left the laptop powered off for just over a minute:
it stayed powered off until I pressed the power button.  This morning's
update was from r354785 to r354807 (for both machines -- I keep them in
sync).

Information on update history for both machines may be found at
http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/history/ -- in case that's of
use or interest.

Peace,
david

Saying "...the whistleblower because of that should be revealed," (as
did Donald Trump) is encouraging (if not leading) a lynch mob, and
folks who do that should never hold office.
