The idea is to enable it by default :-) Normally you shouldn't see -any- 
output except for broken hardware/software. That's something you want to get 
notified about and be able to trace back later on.

I guess it might be a good idea to make the SIGKILL output optional via sysctl 
and disabled by default as this could trigger during normal system operation
("Sending all processes the KILL signal" during shutdown). Would that be ok?
