There are many things that are not done often, and the goal is that at the
end of the day you won't do anything more than once, because the computer
already understands the context of what you are attempting to initiate, and
complements your gestures with the desired context intelligently.

positioning a rarely used element correctly for once is a key solution,
which will lead the way for the positioning of other such rarely used
elements.
and Shutdown, as rarely as it will be used, should be accessible. I would
feel very uncomfortable, if i didn't know where to find that "Power button"
immediately.
