Linus Torvalds: “Do No Harm”

For safety-critical systems, resetting on a fault is very much factored into the worst-case response time and expected behaviour.

PANIC on fault is exactly what you design into the systems.

The world does run on microcontrollers that have roughly the same processing capability as a c64...

The vast majority of processors sold are not i5 or i7 level but microcontrollers.
