Yeah, but a kernel panic is *not* a major issue. They are reported all
the time. And it probably doesn't take a *major* change to fix it.
To the contrary, *major* changes typically introduce more bugs. So you
probably *don't* want a major change.
* Major change: re-write or architecture change
* Minor change: bug fixes <-- you want this
