I suspect some folks would find it quite useful. AOLserver has a
grace period feature for killing/restarting the server, for instance,
and the main reason it exists is to let the admin specify an
interval long enough for expected database queries to finish up
(particularly transactions adding/updating data).
If such a grace period is deemed useful in the web environment, I'd
guess others might find it useful, too.
