That's fine if you see the message, which you should, and the system |
| 13 |
does not suffer an unplanned reboot, which it shouldn't. But leaving a |
| 14 |
system in a state that won't reboot following a crash or power failure is |
| 15 |
not particularly clever, making the warnings fatal sounds a safe default |
| 16 |
to me. As this is Gentoo there will always be a way to turn the airbags |
| 17 |
off and even disable the brakes :) |
