There is no such proposal to do this for all daemons. That's why the defaults have not changed and the individual packages must do it. Quoting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown which I referenced in my previous mail: Apache: Performs a controlled shut down of the running Apache web server. While a web server is normally not likely to have unflushed writes, modules such as mod_perl, mod_python and PHP might; so it's important that we do allow a controlled shutdown.
