What's stupid or broken in waiting for a service to shutdown?

I mean Slackware used to send a SIGTERM to all processes, wait two seconds, and send a SIGKILL. Why would anyone need more? It's the Unix way (except it isn't).

If you disagree with the default wait time then you disagree with the default wait time. So what.
