This was done so that kill-emacs-hook is run. For example, desktop.el
will then save its desktop when logging out from Gnome/KDE.
What Emacs needs is some sort of notion of when user interaction is
not OK. For SIGTERM it is almost never ok, as it might be the window
manager/system/whatever that is shutting down. Even desktop.el will
try to ask questions sometimes (i.e. desktop-save is set but there is
no desktop file yet), which is annoying. Maybe introduce some
interaction-ok-p predicate?
Things that might ask questions should be on kill-emacs-query-functions,
not kill-emacs-hook, shouldn't they?
