   Nor I.

Personally, I think I would be content if we added a query only for
active process buffers.

   . . .

   FWIW, I've been taking advantage of `kill-buffer''s lack of query for
   process buffers as a _feature_, to avoid having to type `yes' (or is
   it `y'?) when I kill Emacs to confirm that I want to kill any active
   processes. I've gotten in the habit of using `C-x k' or `C-x C-v'
   when I'm through with a *shell* buffer, for instance. (Yes, I realize
   that's as much typing as `yes'/`y', but it somehow feels less
   annoying.) ;-)

I just type "quit RET" to the shell.  And if I'm in an SSH session with
open tunneled connections, it won't exit immediately, so I'm reminded
that I have other state to take care of before doing C-x C-c.
