I don't understand what point you're making. Someone's written a post about a fatal bug in a popular piece of software, and it brings down the OS. You said it's interesting. But because it's got to be a pathological case, even though it's actually happened to people in production, it's not important? (This response wouldn't bother me if it didn't feel to me like part of a broader culture of minimizing the impact of serious software bugs under an unfounded assumption that they're not that common -- as though that were enough to make them unimportant in the first place.)
I didn't say unimportant. I said it is interesting, but no reason to panic (well, maybe a reason for the kernel to panic, but you and me probably shouldn't).
