[bind10-dev] why -i for --no-kill?

% ~/opt/sbin/bind10 -h
Usage: bind10 [options]

Options:
[...]
  -i, --no-kill         do not send SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals to modules
                        during shutdown
[...]

"-i" doesn't seem to be an intuitive abbreviation for "--no-kill".

Is that intentional, or maybe a leftover of the joked version of the
option (--no-kill-i)?  See: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1819#comment:11

If it's the latter, it should better be renamed.
If it's the former, well, I'd still suggest renaming it because it's
not intuitive.
