If the server is doing anything other than hosting static data, it might

to exit gracefully, so they can write out any data to disk before they 
die. I'm thinking mostly about processes like SQL servers.

... unless systemd gobbles up the kill command too... As much as I like 
systemd, I hope not. : P
