Yet, in the past, we observed problems with power sneaking through
GPIOs from the permanently powered part of the system into the one
turned off. We're doing much better when it comes to sneak current
paths these days, but I wouldn't be overly confident that there
can't be surprises.

I'd love to see that switch return as well.
