A key is just a key.

There is one special key anyway -- reset...

Your point is? There's also hardware power button on many machines.
They are not controllable by software => they are not relevant to this
discussion.
Really? And you are what are you going to do with bugs about "my power button doesn't remap, and always shuts down my machine?" 

If they have hardware power button, I'll laugh at them (then
CLOSE/INVALID). Feel free to reassign such bugs to me.

Anyway stripping useful functinality because very old (386-era!)
machines don't support it is not a way to go.

Any new machine will have this same functionality if booted with acpi=off,ht etc, and this is done automatically on recent SUSE installs.
