Changing TERM TERM to HUP TERM

To stop GNU Parallel today you need to send TERM to make it stop
starting new jobs followed by another TERM to kill the running jobs.

I am considering changing that to send HUP to stop starting new jobs
and TERM to kill running jobs.

This will make it easier to kill GNU Parallel:

$ bash -c 'parallel -j1 sleep ::: 111 222' &
# This would then kill the process group with bash and parallel
$ kill -TERM -$!

It will make it incompatible with previous versions.

What is your opinion?
