 Since OS/2 does not use the bios AT ALL for the keyb,  C-A-D is not a
 magical key sequence;  any key sequence can be used for "kill app" (I'd
 prefer ctrl-BREAK).

 I want to see CAD remain as softboot,  since this is the way the IBM PC
 BIOS first implemented it.   I am not saying it should always be this
 way,  clearly servers and kiosks might like CAD to be a NOP;  I am
 saying I don't want this shoved down my throat like it is with NT.
