Hmm? Syncing is allowed to my knowledge. C-a-d and gdm allow a clean

which we cannot allow.

Without being logged in there's very little you can do on a host right
now, and sysrq should not open up more there by default.

You must have forgotten your university days....

The alternative to not being able to sync-umount-boot using sysrq is to
flip the switch. I'd rather have them use sysrq.

I said it when they closed X ctrl-alt-backspace and I'll say it now.
When you are on console with the power plug, preventing these actions
is stupid

when you are on a machine where you have pysical only keyboard and mouse it is not - not every PC stands in front of your face - think about kiosk mode and so on...
