If your service is going to break whenever it gets killed, it's also going to break whenever the power is lost, whenever the kernel panics and whenever I accidentaly push the button. I don't believe Fedora ships such broken software :)
I use Linux to avoid random OS crashes, I have redundant power to avoid random power failures, and I don't let others near the boxes to avoid random button pushes.
I expect my system to shut down cleanly. Databases, filesystems, etc. are much happier when the rug isn't pulled out from under them.
