Look on it as a feature - most other Unices can't survive a panic.
Being able to continue running in a degraded mode until a suitable
maintenance window is available would be a real selling point in
HA applications.  Even being able to shutdown cleanly would be
better than coming to a screaming halt.  :-) (sort of).
