I would like to propose two new stanzas:

Currently, in upstart 1.5, the SIGTERM is send after 5 seconds and
the SIGKILL is send after the timeout specified with "kill timeout".
That is very confusing.
If one wants to avoid beeing terminated one has to use "kill signal
SIGCONT" - but SIGKILL cannot be worked around.
The SIGKILL is absolutely necessary for system shut down. If your
program must never be killed with SIGKILL, then you probably don't want
a 'stop on' and need to have constructed your program in a way where it
will not prevent the system from shutting down cleanly.
However, perhaps you can provide a concrete example of a program which
should be given special privileges to delay a system shutdown
indefinitely?
