I think what people here (me included, to be honest) want is to
be able to disallow ctrl-c to kill services, fully knowing that
this may lead to a system that starts very slowly in certain situations.

What is the point of having a password protected BIOS, a password
protected grub and all the Unix auth stack if anyone can kill
services during boot?
