 Well, there is an errata branch for RELENG_6_0, but generally errata branches 
 are used for higher profile/severity issues.  While having users be able to 
 trigger panics locally is bad, bugs of this sort are fixed frequently, and we 
 tend to reserve errata notices for things that are immediately affecting wide 
 audiences, or correct critical problems with key features.
