Right, and that's what I meant: SIGTERM usually causes an exit, while
SIGUSR can set a flag and do its thing later.

I'm more worried by the possibility that they run Lisp code when Emacs
is in unstable state.

I'm not sure this is enough. We may need to defer exiting until it is
safe to call Lisp code.
