Probably because it masks all signals, whitelists signals the authors
though about and offers to proxy those to scripts. After all s6-svscan
is designed to be a good pid 1 and exiting from an default signal
results in an instant kernel panic. The correct solution would be to
teach s6-svscan about SIGPWR and proxy it to .s6-svscan/SIGPWR.
