That's cost me more than one hard power button powerdon (on a desktop machine with the system partition on SSD - unnerving).
One of the innumerable things that systemd stops on shutdown gets stuck - permanently - and the machine goes into a state out of which, to my knowledge, is only a powerdown or reset.
I ended up searching for the above and replacing them with a reasonable timeout (several minutes).
That's fair, that example would be better with a modest timeout (e.g. if podman had a bug that caused it to hang), without taking away from the main points. Updated.
