Details
sysrq key is a very useful feature that can unmount the
disks and reboot the machine during system freezes. It is
already compiled into the kernel but I don't know why it is
explicitly disabled by default in /etc/sysctl.conf. This
feature is extremely useful since it prevents possible
filesystem corruptions and it is very unlikely that there is
any hotkey conflicts.(And pressing the sysrq key
combinations by accidents is almost impossible since these
keys are so far apart.) Please bring this feature back.
Thanks.

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: If you want this enabled, enable it. Enabling debugging features by default is not something we do.
