Google added the 'earlyexit' logic to the power cycle function in the fence-gce fencing agent. This gives the option to proceed once the reset API call succeeds but not wait till the actual reboot operation finishes; this can result in a faster failover. Several customers requested this function extension, and Google already made the development efforts.
