Please don't perpetuate this argument.  The point of KASSERT is not that the
developer intended that the system should try to keep running in production.
The point is that (1) the KASSERT should not be hit in production as was
established in testing *and* (2) having all KASSERTs enabled in production is
too expensive.  That's all.
