we can no longer shut down Macs from the power button? I always assumed this was possible. I just tried it (MBP 2011, 10.9.5) and it does not shut down from the power button. Hmm...

Power button behavior changed in 10.9:

Apple changed the behavior of the Power button in 10.9 Mavericks:

"Press the button once, and it puts your display to sleep. Press and hold it for a second or two, and the Shutdown / Restart / Sleep dialog appears. Press and hold it for even longer, and your Mac gets completely powered off."

Yup, 'hold down' the proximity switch and it will shut down.
