This warrants a much longer explanation to even be considered.
Your explanation/reasoning needs to be here. Others won't have
the benefit of reading the summary e-mail, even more so since
you declined to number and sequence the series.

Personally' I don't find it acceptable, but I'll be happy to
listen to input from others. Such changes should be based on
real problems, not on personal opinions. If we accept this patch,
someone else might come in later reverting it with the personal
opinion that some reboots take longer than the watchdog timeout.
