Would it really be that bad though? I mean, if you play for the Dark Lord ending, but he kills you, you respawn at the bonfire, and he then sacrifices himself to rekindle the First Flame, then you'd be alive AND human. But if you're going for the To Link the Fire ending, then he would have to remain in the Kiln anyway, because otherwise you would just come back and rekindle it when he's not there.
