Well, it's about sending signals, then we do that for people anyway...

I mean, either people use the standard way to shut down daemons by
sending SIGTERM, and then we'll do all for them, they need no
configuration at all. Or they have some complex interfacing in place,
but then we should be able to assume that it is synchronous. But the
middle place of something where they shut down things asynchronously but
in a non-standard way sounds really off to me...
