Sounds like that is something else that could be improved, then: the feedback in
that context.

FWIW, I've been taking advantage of `kill-buffer''s lack of query for process
buffers as a _feature_, to avoid having to type `yes' (or is it `y'?) when I
kill Emacs to confirm that I want to kill any active processes. I've gotten in
the habit of using `C-x k' or `C-x C-v' when I'm through with a *shell* buffer,
for instance. (Yes, I realize that's as much typing as `yes'/`y', but it somehow
feels less annoying.) ;-)
