Not everyone can happily debug and bisect if every bug causes panic and forced reboot of their machine. As a person who reported dozen of bugs (mostly upstream specific but some of them can be found only with linux-hardened - all of them fixed) and who tests every rc kernel with linux-hardened patch and several others patches on top of it, I can tell you that none valid report will be rejected. Of course I don't report issues with linux-hardened patch itself upstream. I have to admit that if I haven't disabled myself CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS I would give up long time ago. Yours sincerely G. K.
