Another case for not running kill-emacs-hook for SIGTERM is that some 
elisp packages seem to get themselves into inconsistent states (semantic 
is terrible for this) where they throw errors from kill-emacs-hook, so 
the user is forced to kill emacs using SIGTERM. Changing SIGTERM to also 
run kill-emacs-hook would mean only SIGKILL can kill emacs in these 
circumstances.
