Come on! From when disclosing the real IP address over the TOR is "EXTREMELY dangerous" ?
I guess that should be afraid only those who have a business on the selling of weed on Silk Road...
The issue is the right to privacy.
Here is a quote from Edward Snowden: "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

I can imagine another reason: there are probably Slackware users who don't live in first world countries, in democratic countries, or in countries with stable governments.

You need to learn to see past one specific exploit and focus on the actual vulnerability below: disclosing an IP address is just the payload in this case, it's how they achieve it that matters.
From the blog:
Quote:
The exploit took advantage of a bug in Firefox to allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system by having the victim load a web page containing malicious JavaScript and SVG code.
Just out of curiosity, what would you need to do at that point that couldn't be done in rc.local_shutdown? Does the file system need to be unmounted for the process you want to run? Does the system need to be right on the verge of either a reboot or a shutdown to run whatever in the hook call?
You essentially power down the system by telling the UPS to cut off the power. So, yes, the system needs to be ready to powerdown.
You have a tesla card, you might have better luck with nouveau than a legacy blob driver with it depending on your use cases. Worth a try.
I tried again with your suggestion after uninstalling nvidia drivers! it says in xorg log:
Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: libnvidia-tls.so.340.96: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: libnvidia-tls.so.340.96: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Probably the blob was not cleanly uninstalled or your xorg.conf still mentions the nvidia driver as the Xserver still looks for a file shipped in the blob.
