We normally don't do "security by obscurity", at least not by choice,
closing the main door, but leaving the back window open.
If you enable WFS only to some users, they can also download KML from it,
but it will be without any styling, just data, unlike the KML you could get
from WMS.

I don't believe a solution exists to block a specific output format for
only certain users, but if I had to do it, I'd extend GeoFence
to handle that case as well.
