[OpenIndiana-discuss] 5421 issue allowing local user to panic the system

[Stefan Müller-Wilken]

Hmmm... while I find it pretty cool that we get a patch for this, it raises a question: is that the ultimate sign that all serious users will finally have to switch to hipster? Shellshock only for a9, zone panic patch only for hipster - is there any justification left for a8 which was previously called the revision designated for production use?

Cheers
 Stefan
