On July 12, Jocelyn Falempe

proposed a change to the configuration options that Fedora sets for its
kernels, in order to make kernel panics easier to report.
Falempe would like to enable the kernel’s recently added
DRM-panic feature, which adds
a graphical crash screen that is reminiscent of the infamous
Windows “blue screen of death” for kernel panics. The feature introduces a few
tradeoffs, including currently limited driver support, so the proposal spawned a
good deal of discussion.
