I've always taken Jeremiah's modivation on this to be functionality.
You can wait for db tasks on shutdown immediate or you can wait for
recovery later.  It just depends on when you want to wait and the times
are not always the same.  Under some circumstances, immediate may cause
a much very long wait and that can be unacceptable.  If you need to bring it
down, don't fear abort.  There are times when abort is the tool you
need, not some evil twin.  Oracle, by design, has the db covered, less
some early v7 releases.
