3) I should be able as admin to say just turn the machine off/release
even while erasing disks.

4) upon releasing a node, maas triggers an erase disk operation.  The
system has three 3TB drives which will take a very long time to
complete;   Webgui will not allow me (even as admin) to release the
node, or power it off while it is erasing.  This effectively locks the
machine away indefinitely.
