Subject: OT: How would you like _this_ as your "z/OS has hard waited" message?

The Linux developers are considering using QR codes to encode Kernel OOPS (hard 
wait) information. Snap a picture of it on the old cell phone, then decode it. 
It could encode a URL and debug data so that the user could open a bug report 
using it. In our case, such a thing would need to come up on the HMC.
