Hmm? Syncing is allowed to my knowledge. C-a-d and gdm allow a clean reboot/poweroff. But sysrq does an abnormal reboot/poweroff, which we cannot allow. Similar, remounting read-only is also security senstive, which we cannot allow. Without being logged in there's very little you can do on a host right now, and sysrq should not open up more there by default.
You must have forgotten your university days.... The alternative to not being able to sync-umount-boot using sysrq is to flip the switch. I'd rather have them use sysrq. I said it when they closed X ctrl-alt-backspace and I'll say it now. When you are on console with the power plug, preventing these actions is stupid.
