$ man xorg.conf

       Option "DontZap"  "boolean"
              This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence.  That
              sequence  is  normally  used to terminate the Xorg server.  When
              this option is enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning
              and is passed to clients.  Default: off.

So we are really talking here only about setting a totally backwards default.
Whomever came up with that bright idea appears to have an extremely limited
exposure to a real-life PC hardware.

Another "replacement" is your power button.
