Additional context: this is intentionally not the default behaviour because we don't want our app to reach out to BusKill servers as it could alert Eve to the fact that you're using BusKill software. For more info, see:

It's important that implementation of this option would include a "confirmation" dialog that tells the user of the risks and makes them confirm before it's enabled.

This "confirmation" dialog functionality was just implemented last week (currently it's used to warn the user of the risk of data loss when enabling the 'soft-shutdown' trigger in the GUI's Settings screen).
