Sorry, but I really need to humbly disagree with you. Look to what has
already happened to me when the problem occurred (which is almost every
day):

1) Firefox crash;
2) Libreoffice crash (auto-save stop working);
3) Can't save my work in any text editor (vim, neovim, gedit, etc.);
4) Sometimes I can't even log as root (in TTY or by `su`);
5) Sometimes only a hard-reset solves the problem;
6) I was left with a broken operational system when the problem
occurred during a `zypper dup`.

I just can't tell you how much work I lost during those situations. So,
I think we cannot call this issue just annoying. I think it is very
severe.
