I don't think there's much room for opinionated banter on this - modifying
the keymap is inelegant, and IMHO should not be employed as a means.

I would much prefer seeing a sysctl added to control this on the fly, as I
myself have had situations where I have wanted to reenable console
rebooting and haven't been able to.

Would the appropriate people please consider Pascal's patch for inclusion?

Brad
