This is a bad idea, as sendsigs would have to accumulate special
handling when there already is a generic mechianism to avoid being
killed, the omitpid feature.

Either of these make sense to me.  Only those processes needed when
umounting /usr/ should survive sendsigs.

But is this fuse file system umounted by umountnfs?  If so, it might
make sense to update the omitpid list with it.

> 4.) Should the (fuse) mount programs react on SIGTERM?

Could be.  Leave that to someone who know the system.

Happy hacking,
