It seems valuable to preserve the ability for willDestroyPage() to always run, but I can also see arguments against it, since being able to shoot a process in the head when closing its last page could certainly be more efficient.  Perhaps we need new SPI to allow choosing which behavior is desirable, or maybe we can piggyback on existing sudden termination API.
